OPPOSITION DUGOUT 

Stuart Maynard

Stuart Maynard came to Wealdstone in May 2019 as Assistant to former boss Dean Brennan, whom he had worked with since 2012 at Hemel Hempstead Town, Billericay Town and Kingstonian.

Maynard also played for the Stones back in 1999/00 after his release from Watford and had a lengthy playing career in non-league for the likes of St Albans City, Enfield, Chesham United, Halesowen Town and Hemel Hempstead Town.

He was announced as Wealdstone manager in March 2021 after a short spell in caretaker charge and has led his team to 18th position so far this campaign.

ONE TO WATCH

Josh Umerah

The imposing forward started his career at Charlton Athletic in the Championship where he made three appearances.

Three loan spells followed at Kilmarnock, Wycombe Wanderers and Boreham Wood before he finally departed The Valley in 2019 to sign for Ebbsfleet United.

Umerah signed for Torquay United a year later where his goals helped them to the Vanarama National League play-off final before penning a deal at Wealdstone last summer.

The 24-year old has enjoyed life at Grosvenor Vale so far this season and is the Club’s top goalscorer with nine league goals.
