Wormull said: “It was a really positive meeting. He understands where I want to be and what I want to do and I think him and the club have the same kind of ambitions.”
The Hillians manager is realistic however, and knows that recruiting players may not be so easy now the club have been relegated.
He said: “I think when you go down, you have to use your money wisely. I’m not disappointed with the budget at all, I understand the process and I understand where we are and I’m happy with what we’re looking to get.

Wormull is also excited by the prospect of moving to the new ground, calling it ‘a massive step forward for the club’.
He said: “We get a great atmosphere but (the Green Elephants Stadium) is kind of old. Because of the aspirations of getting the new grounds, they’ve not invested in improving that ground. With the new community hub, it’ll be a massive step forward for the club and the community.”
