Wormull, along with John Rattle, has been caretaker boss after Ian Chapman first took a short absence of leave before chairman Kevin Newell accepted his resignation.

The former Brighton, Crawley Town, Leewes and Eastbourne Borough player was brought in as as a coach by Chapman after Stuart Tuck left the club.

Rattle will be Wormull's number two.
