MANAGER – SCOTT ROGERS
Scott Rogers joined Weston as Scott Bartlett’s assistant in the summer of 2023, and was then appointed first-team manager in October2025 after Bartlett had departed for the manager’s job at Eastleigh. Rogers had been the manager of Tiverton Town, alongside his family member Martyn Rogers.
Before being in charge at Tivvy, Scott was also player-manager at Willand Rovers, who he led to the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup in the 2014-15 season. His playing career took in the likes of Forest Green Rovers, Weston, Bath City, Newport County and Tiverton, where he scored the only goal in the 1999 FA Vase Final against Bedlington Terriers, the penultimate final played at the old Wembley Stadium.
PLAYER PROFILE – LOUIS BRITTON
After successful spells with Brislington and Mangotsfield United, Louis earned a move to Bristol City in 2019. Whilst at Ashton Gate, Louis spent time out on loan at several clubs, including the Gulls in 2020-21, most notably at Waterford where he found the back of the net on a regular basis.
After leaving Bristol City in 2022, the striker enjoyed prolific spells at Maldon & Tiptree and Bristol Manor Farm before joining Weston in March 2025.
