Dutts returns to the Raymond McEnhill Stadium after having previously played for and captained the old club, Salisbury City, leading the former Whites to back-to-back promotions from the Southern League to the Conference Premier and even made 8 appearances for the new club in the 2016/2017 season, scoring one goal. After a stellar playing career, ‘Yorkshire’, as he is affectionately known amongst supporters, made the successful transition to coaching with Bristol Rovers before reuniting with former manager Darrell Clarke at Walsall. After Clarke left the Saddlers to join their Midlands rivals Port Vale, Dutts stepped up to the plate and became Head Coach of the League Two side in 2019. He left in 2021 and re-joined Bristol Rovers, becoming their Academy Manager before eventually finding his way back to the Raymond McEnhill Stadium in October 2022. After a turbulent start to life at the helm thanks to many player departures, Dutts finally got the opportunity to make the team his own during the 2023 offseason. An excellent start to the 2023/2024 campaign, including a 7-game winning streak, has shown that stability, patience, and trust are key to achieving the long-term goals Dutts has set out for the club.
