Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has described his assistant, Richard Thomas, as 'one of the best coaches he’s ever worked with' as the duo prepare for pre-season.

Since returning from their break, Thomas has been taking charge of the sessions whilst Bloomfield has been ‘working on recruitment’, and he believes that the blend between the two is ‘working well’.
