Albion have dismissed women's team manager James Marrs after a disciplinary hearing.

The club have announced they have terminated Marrs' full-time contract with immediate effect.

They are making no further comment but stress there is no suggestion of criminal actions by Marrs.

The news comes less than a fortnight after Albion won the Premier League southern division title. They have a promotion play-off next month.

George Parris has taken over in interim command. The former Albion and West Ham player is already an integral part of the women's and girls' section as head of the centre of excellence. 

A statement from Albion read: "The decision follows an internal investigation and disciplinary hearing, after allegations were made via Sussex County Football Association.

"The club followed FA guidelines and UK employment law procedures in conducting the investigation and subsequent disciplinary hearing.

"In line with UK employment laws, Marrs has the right to appeal the club’s decision.

"The club will making no further comment on this matter at this time but, to discourage speculation or inappropriate rumours, we can confirm that there is no suggestion of any criminal actions from the individual concerned."

Assistant boss Lee Hayes has also left the club, although that is unrelated to the investigation involving Marrs.
