As a player Setchell featured for Rushden & Diamonds and Tamworth

King's Lynn joint-manager Gary Setchell has set about creating unity in his new-look side ahead of their debut season in the United Counties League.

Lynn have brought in eight new signings since the club was reformed after being wound up in December.

Setchell told BBC Radio Norfolk: "It's a little bit of a unique situation.

"Certainly in my time in football I've never had all your managers, coaches and players working together for the first time."

The Linnets have been back in training for the first time since it was announced Buster Chapman would be resurrecting the club, and Setchell has been impressed with the players' attitudes.

"A lot of the lads are out of the Ridgeons League and have played with each other, or played against each other," he said.

"Everyone seemed to get on fine and we made it a little bit fun in the afternoon.

"But we have got to work hard, we've got seven friendlies and we know we've got to land running on 7 August."

The first of Lynn's friendlies is on 10 July when Setchell's men travel to Ely City.
