Ben Greenhalgh has left Margate FC to become manager of Isthmian Premier Division side Dartford FC.
Greenhalgh has managed more than 100 games for the club and appeared over 250 appearances for the Blues as a player.
As Manager, Greenhalgh led the Blues to a play-off semi-final in his first campaign as manager, before narrowly missing out by one point this season.
Whilst hugely disappointed to be losing Ben, Chairman Ricky Owen praised his impact on Margate FC, saying: “We are disappointed that this has come about out of the blue. We stuck by Ben and were ready to do so again for the 2026/27 season ahead.
“To receive this news at this time is particularly frustrating but the search for Ben’s replacement starts in earnest.
“I’ve had a fantastic relationship with Ben, he is a good person who I have enjoyed working with. There is no question about how influential he has been at the club. He led us to a play-off campaign in his first season and narrowly missed out this year”.
The Club have wished Ben all the best for his future endeavours.
