CARETAKER boss Paul West has accepted the permanent position of first-team manager at Evesham United.

After he applied for the job, the position was discussed at a committee meeting and it was decided to give the 42-year-old another opportunity after he resigned from the club last November following more than five years in charge.

West will also continue in his youth development role at the Robins.

Evesham lost 3-2 at Cinderford Town in Evo-Stik Southern League Division One South and West last night with Simon Fitter scoring both the goals.
