NEWLY-formed Ludlow FC is set to bring West Midlands League football back to the town next season. 
Luke Hicks, formerly with the AFC Ludlow side disbanded at the end of 2015-16, is to take the managerial reins with the start-up club accepted into Division Two, the eighth tier of England’s non-league pyramid.
The Shropshire football fraternity was left in shock at AFC’s demise due to a lack of players in July last year shortly after they had finished third in West Midlands One. 
But with the new venture backed by businessman Stuart Danks and his Shrewsbury-based company DM Recruitment, 27-year-old Hicks is already in the throes of building a team.
