We are delighted to confirm that Craig Dundas will return to Sutton United in a coaching capacity, heading up the the college programme alongside Sid Dack, who took charge of the Under-11’s and Under-13’s last season in the academy.
Dundas, who returns to Gander Green Lane for a fifth time, was honoured for his impact on the club with a testimonial match last month, celebrating over 500 appearances across four spells as a player. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in recognition of a playing career that at the time had seen him make 442 appearances and score 96 goals, and since passed the 500 appearance and 100 goal mark to secure his place in 7th in the all time appearances list. Craig featured in two title-winning teams and has achieved cult-hero status with the supporters for his versatility and tenacity.
He originally joined the club’s coaching staff in 2016 before departing for Hampton & Richmond Borough for the 2018/19 season, but rejoined Sutton a year later. He subsequently took on a player/coach role during a further five years in SM1, before exiting again following the club’s relegation from League Two in 2024, at the age of 43.
Dundas spent last season in the Combined Counties League with local side Epsom & Ewell as a player/coach, but took charge of the side as manager alongside Max Johnson with seven games to go, leading the Salts to six wins along with a hard-fought victory in the Southern Combination Challenge Cup Final.
As a result, he has since been appointed in permanent joint-charge at Leg O’Mutton Field alongside Johnson, and will balance his roles in Epsom along with the Sutton academy, where he will bring a different dimension to the new set-up at Gander Green Lane.
Welcome back to Sutton, Craig!
