KING’S Lynn manager Alex Brady has announced his decision to stand down.

Brady was absent from the MacInnes Stars’ 43-47 defeat at Belle Vue on Monday, and then confirmed the news on his personal Twitter account.

He said: “Thank you to all the fans who supported me and the team, to all the sponsors, staff, riders and everyone connected to the club for their support and efforts.

“Life has changed a lot for me recently and I need to focus more on my beautiful children, and my other baby – selling houses.

“I wish nothing but the best for Buster (Chapman), Dale (Allitt) and all the boys going forwards, and I hope one day I can be back, when the time is right.”

The club will be making no further comment at this stage but would once again like to place on record our thanks to Rob Lyon for standing in as team manager at Belle Vue.
