His first season as manager of Banbury was cut short as the campaign was curtailed due to the Covid-19 pandemic but he did lead them into the first round of FA Cup where they were eventually beaten by Canvey Island.
I am proud to be part of such a fantastic club and that the board have shown their faith in me to continue as manager,” Whing said after signing the new deal.
“There is real momentum here and I can’t wait to build on the work that was cut short last season.”
