In the dugout: Ben Strevens
Strevens began his footballing career at Barnet, a club which he would ultimately make 39 appearances for and contribute to 6 goals. Strevens was on the books for the Bees between 1999 and 2006, but throughout those 7 years, he had various loan spells at the likes of Slough and St Albans City.
In 2006, following his departure from Barnet, he joined Crawley Town on a free transfer – a club he would only be at for 5 months before joining Dagenham & Redbridge. Strevens would ultimately go on to represent the likes of Brentford, Wycombe Eastleigh and Whitehawk before retiring having made a total of 389 senior appearances.
The manager’s coaching career began at Eastleigh in 2015 when he was named as assistant manager before leaving just one year later to become Whitehawk assistant manager and ultimately caretaker manager when the head coach Richard Hill left his post.
Strevens later went on to mange Eastleigh, Luton Youth time and now Dagenham & Redbridge. He has been at the helm for 6 games and averages 1.17 points per game.
