MANAGEMENT TEAM.
STEVE CLARIDGE (Manager /Director) – Steve is a former Football League player whose last playing
action was for semi-pro Gosport Borough in 2011/12 He was a pundit for BBC Sport football shows
including Football Focus and the Football League Show until recently when he became both Manager and
a Director of Salisbury FC. He is a coach and still also features regularly as a pundit on radio and TV. He
began his career with non-league Fareham Town in 1983, and after failing to gain a permanent contract
at AFC Bournemouth spent three years at Weymouth - his longest single spell with any club. From 1988
until1996 he played for a number of Football League teams before moving to Leicester where he was also
Player Manager in 2000/01. After a spell with Millwall, he dropped down to the Southern Premier League
to work as Player Manager at Weymouth. After this ended in 2004, Steve played for ten different clubs in
a variety of leagues, never spending more than a season with any one team. He has played at all levels
of English football and has also appeared in at least 1000 professional or semi-professional football
matches. After formally retiring from football in 2007, he moved into media work for the BBC where his
experience of the Football League has been used to position him as an expert at that level, though he
works across a variety of different football programmes for the broadcaster. He has since occasionally
played semi-professional football for clubs in the south of England, playing one game for Weymouth in
2009 and signing in 2011 for Gosport Borough.
CALLUM HART (Assistant Manager / Coach) - Began his career at Bristol City as a youth team player,
but after being released in 2005. He was offered a trial with Bournemouth. After impressing during the
pre-season friendlies he was given a short-term contract, finding himself in the first team soon after. He
made his debut in the First Round of the Football League Cup in a 4–3 penalty shoot-out win over Torquay
United in August 2005, before being rewarded with his first start against Chesterfield. Callum’s fine
displays in February 2006 earned him a call-up to the Wales under 21 side against Paraguay, but he was
unavailable to play as the Cherries were then experiencing an injury crisis. He was released in May 2007
and joined Weymouth on non-contract terms in November, but left the Terras the following February to
join Farnborough. Callum played just 37 minutes for them during a 1–0 win over Banbury United before
deciding to seek a professional contract elsewhere. He joined Bath City in October 2009 on non-contract
terms, but soon left the club for Weston Super Mare. He re-joined Bath City prior to the start of the
2010/11 season but then moved on to Salisbury City in March 2011. After being dogged by injury for the
closing months of the season, he signed non-contract terms with Salisbury ahead of the 2011/12 season,
to prove his fitness. After some outstanding performances, he accepted a one-year deal but shortly after
doing so suffered a serious knee injury, ruling him out for the rest of the season. He returned the following
season, and was once again invited to prove his fitness, initially signing on non-contract terms before
being offered a full contract after a successful pre-season. The 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons saw him
feature regularly in the first team, starting the majority of matches, and he signed a new contract ahead
of the 2013/14 season, but joined Sutton United on the demise of Salisbury City.
