Upon his appointment, Tony Carter has said:

“I was a Gateshead director and long-term sponsor and fan and overseen the most successful part of their history with two consecutive Wembley finals and with a win in the 2024 FA Trophy final, and also having overseen a top ten finish in a league where we were massively punching above our weight.

“l left Gateshead earlier this year due to much time spent trying to work and oversee the rebuilding of Gateshead FC due to manager and player departures and I needed a break.

Now I feel fresh for a new challenge with a club I feel is heading in the right direction, both on and off the field, and working alongside two great Chairmen who are working hard to take Dunston forward to the next level and I was ready to comeback into football after a short break.”

Everyone at Dunston UTS Football Club would like to officially welcome Tony to the club.
