Revealing his plans to the Reporter, an “excited” March said:
“The season’s just finished but I’ve been planning for 2025 for over the last six, seven weeks, who we can bring in. The team that we’ve got, and with the people coming in, there’s going to be a lot of Dewsbury-based players, a bit of experience in there and some youngsters as well.

“Regarding league position I just want to set some foundations. There are going to be some youngsters, some local lads and some experienced lads in there.
“And what I want to do for the club is to set the foundations so that when we do go up - if it is next year or it could be the year after - then we have got a side that is capable of staying in the Championship. That’s the biggest thing.
“That’s the foundation for where we need to be.”
