On being appointed, Sarll said: “I am very honoured and proud to be offered the manager’s position at one of the last great non-league institutions. For years Woking has found success at the very top of non-league, and in tandem with John, Drew and the board, my ambition is to close that gap that exists right now within what is a very competitive division.
“After 20 years of working in this industry, I hope my experiences can accelerate the professional on-field growth of the football club. I am looking forward to meeting the players and staff and all of you – the supporters."
Yeovil Town confirmed Sarll’s departure with ‘immediate effect.’
