Dear Essex Members and supporters,
When I first came to this Club in February 2016, I could hardly have imagined the incredible journey that would follow over the next nine seasons.
We’ve been through so much together, and I’ve been deeply honoured to have played a part in bringing silverware back to Essex during my time here.
I’d like to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to you all for the support you have given me over the last decade.
Each and every single game throughout that time, you’ve backed us to the hilt, and especially so at the times we’ve needed it most.
It’s hard to convey exactly what it’s meant and how much of an impact it’s had, but please do know that at times behind the scenes, it’s been absolutely crucial.
Everything you have given, not just to me, the coaching staff, and the players, but to the whole Club, has been really appreciated.
The decision to move on has been an incredibly difficult one to make, and from the bottom of my heart, I’m going to miss this Club.
Hopefully, when the fixtures come out for next year, and we start the season next April, I’ll get the opportunity to see a few people again at The Cloud County Ground.
Thank you very much again for your support, and see you all soon,
Anthony McGrath
