Jason Cook has been tasked with dragging Diss Town out of a summer predicament.

The Tangerines have named Cook as their new manager, replacing Paul Bugg – who took the job in May but resigned after just 42 days in charge.

Bugg had replaced Ross Potter whose departure to Wroxham saw a number of players take the same route.

Justin King has been named as Cook's assistant at the Thurlow Nunn League First Division club.

Both were at Suffolk & Ipswich League side Haughley United – they finished 10th in the Senior Division last season.

Diss Town chairman Dickie Upson said: 'We are delighted to welcome Jason and Justin to Brewers Green Lane.

'The club has been through a difficult period recently but we are confident that with these appointments we can go into the new season with optimism.

'On behalf of everyone at the club I'd like to wish Jason and Justin the very best for the season ahead.'
