Paul Johnson had enjoyed great success in non-league firstly as a player and then as a manager, guiding Spelthorne Sports to promotion before taking Bedfont Sports up into Step 4.
In November 2022, he became the Farnham Town manager and won silverware in his first season as the Town beat Balham 3-2 in the Southern Combination Cup Final in May 2023.
The 23/24 season was a historic one for the Club under Johnson as they enjoyed their best-ever runs in the FA Cup and FA Vase, reached the Surrey Cup Final for the first time ever, but most importantly, were crowned champions of the Combined Counties Premier Division South after completing an invincible league campaign.
