Mitchell Cowling.

Mitchell Cowling is the son of Colchester United's controversial millionaire owner Robbie Cowling. Colchester United have had strong connections with Maldon over recent years, effectively treating them as a junior club, with young Colchester players blooded into the senior game at non-League level with the Jammers.

Mr Carter added: "I have only been with the club a short while and in that time we have established the requirement for a restructure if we are to maximise the clubs potential. I would like to thank all of the volunteers that have supported me during my time as the Chairman and I'm confident they will also be very supportive of this restructure. I look forward to working alongside Daniel and Mitchell as we continue to progress the clubs development."
