Flackwell Heath Football Club are saddened to announce that long serving player Jack Shakespeare has decided to leave the club. Jack has been with the club for over 5 years playing a huge part in the clubs recent success and was vital in our league winning side. Although we are sad to see fan favourite Jack moving on we wish him all the best in his next chapter and hope to maybe see him back at Wilks Park one day. Jack was at our game on Tuesday to say his goodbyes and wanted to send this message….. “I just want to say a massive thankyou to everyone at the club that has been there on my journey since I started 5 years ago. I wouldn’t be where I am now without all the hard work and time people have put into me since joining giving me memories that I will remember for life. I wanted to say a special thanks to the chairman Terry who has always put the club above himself and never given up on making the experiences we’ve all had possible even when times were tough. Flackwell wouldn’t be where they are without him. I also want to thank all my teammates and the Gaffers Chris and Shoney for everything they’ve done for me personally, and the club, aswell as all the coaches and all the people that do the tireless work behind the scenes at the club that make it run so smoothly as they’ve all played such a massive part in all the clubs success we’ve had over the years. I now feel like it’s time for a new challenge and I wish the club nothing but the best moving forward. ❤️⚽️” #Heathens

We’re delighted to announce that both First Team Manager Chris Ayres and our No.10 Jack Shakespeare have been kindly sponsored by The Cherry Tree for the 2026/27 season 🍒⚽️ The Cherry Tree have certainly chosen two key figures at Flackwell Heath FC. Chris has enjoyed tremendous success during his time in charge leading the club to a league title, a league cup triumph and a Step 4 play-off final. His leadership continues to drive the club forward both on and off the pitch. Meanwhile Jack has developed into one of Flackwell’s most consistent performers. As the club’s longest serving player Shakey has become a firm fan favourite and remains an integral part of the team. It’s a particularly fitting partnership with The Cherry Tree being a popular meeting place for players, staff and supporters. Mango who runs the pub is a familiar face at Wilks Park whenever he can make it and has become a valued member of the Heathens family. Located in the heart of the village The Cherry Tree offers a fantastic selection of drinks alongside a great menu of traditional pub favourites. We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support shown by Mango and everyone at The Cherry Tree. Thank you for backing Chris, Jack and Flackwell Heath FC 🔴⚪️ #Heathens
