Wight Eagles Chairman Mike Ross said: “We are delighted to announce Sammie as manager. She has our full backing to carry on with the squad this season and continue to develop our talent and youth coming through.
Sammie will be supported by assistant manager Richard Mumford, her husband.
Dan will continue working closely with Sammie in his role as Director of Football.
