KoolSport NCEL Premier Division side Dinnington Town have announced their new assistant manager and physio.
Mark Lewis, who will be alongside boss Steve Toyne, has been with the club a number of years working as assistant to Mark Ramsden on their high-flying County Senior team.

Sponsor Boost For Dinnington
1st January, 2009
Dinnington Town's wishes for a great start to 2009 will become a reality on Saturday before their KoolSport NCEL Premier Division game against Bridlington Town.
Local firm CS Surveying & Architectural Design will be presented with a framed copy of the club's new away shirt as they are the new away kit sponsor.
CS Surveying and Architectural Design are a Dinnington based Architects and Surveyors firm who have chosen their local team to benefit from corporate sponsorship.
Dinnington Town take on Bridlington Town in a match expected to draw a good crowd.
Chris Dearns, Club Secretary, said: "The club is very pleased to secure the kit sponsorship with local architects John Cawkwell-Stansfield and his wife Reyna.
"John and Reyna are enthusiastic sports fans. They have sponsored high profile teams in Sheffield in the past but jumped at the chance to get involved with our club.
"Like us, they are very keen to make this a success. So much so, soon after our first meeting, they had secured further sponsorship with other local companies towards our development fund.
"We couldn't believe our luck - new facilities for the Club could look like a reality soon."
Dearns added: "We look forward to a long and lasting relationship with CS Surveying and Architectural Design as a Club sponsor but equally as an ambassador for the club."

Dinno In 'Come And Watch Us' Plea
12th November, 2008
KoolSport NCEL Premier Division side Dinnington Town have warned they need bigger attendances in order to survive.
They currently sit fourth in the attendance table with 105 but the club want more to come and watch.
A statement on the club's website says: "Dinnington Town have seen a steady increase in the attendances since our Central Midlands days, when we were getting ten to fifteen turning out for a game.
"Most of these people were parents of the players, we even counted stray dogs in those days. The players paid ?3.00 subs otherwise we couldn't afford to pay the referee. The players don't pay subs now but they have a go on the club lottery to generate some money that is necessary at this level.
"It has been difficult for the Club to encourage locals to come along when we have teams like Sheffield United, Wednesday, Rotherham and Barnsley on the door step.
"Is it better football? I think not. At Dinnington you can see more enthusiasm from the players who really do love the Club.
"Give me an NCEL game any day and at ?4.00 adults and ?2.00 children and OAP's - 'it's cheap as chips'.
"Down at Phoenix Park, three adults, six under 16's can have an excellent afternoon out for under ?30.00 - they can also have a cup of OXO thrown in for that price.
"The recession has hit us all in some way but, with our supporters in mind, we have not increased our prices for two years.
"This year, we have seen increased League and Referee fees that eat into our match day profit.
"If it wasn't for the ?70.00 we generate from the raffle and weekly lottery we would struggle to survive.
"The press have done us proud over the years to get the message across.
"So come on Dinnington supporters get down to Phoenix Park, get behind your team, encourage the players, pass the word to your friends and family that we are here, a lot of people don't know what they are missing."

There was a great turnout for the first event to raise money for the Dinnington Town Sports Club Development Fund.
Town had great support when all the club's sides took part in the sponsored walk.
Chris Dearns, Dinnington Town's secretary, said: "Thank you to everyone who took part. It was a great turn out and everyone of our teams took part and I think those who did enjoyed the day.

"This is our first event, we have 18 months in front of us where we will be aiming to generate as much money as possible towards the grants we need to develop the grounds and provide a much needed club house for Dinnington Town Sports Club.
"More events are to take place over the coming months and we are looking at race nights, a Sportsman's evening and Christmas Raffle."

Toyne Set For Double Dinno Capture
10th July, 2008
Dinnington Town boss Steve Toyne is poised to complete a double capture this week.
The Phoenix Park outfit are preparing for an onslaught on the KoolSport Northern Counties East League Premier Division next season.
Toyne is set to add Dean Conway, a centre forward from Sheffield side Outukumpu, and David Wardle, a keeper from Carlton United, to his squad after the pair impressed in Tuesday's 3-1 defeat of a Sheffield Wednesday XI.
The Town boss said: "Dean came on to score and looked very good. He's a big lad and built like the proverbial."
Last week, Toyne had revealed his desire to find a keeper, with Phil Rhodes' recovery from injury not going as hoped.
"We played David Wardle for the first half in Tuesday's friendly and he did well," said Toyne.
"He had no chance for the goal and, in all, looked very comfortable."
