"While I'll certainly miss working alongside my friend, some things take precedence over football," Jepson added. "Marc hopes to attend future matches to support the team when his health permits."
"As a local lad who reached the highest levels of the game, Marc is without doubt the finest player I've had the privilege to both play and work with," Jepson concluded. "We all wish him the very best in his recovery."
Jepson confirmed that he has no plans at this stage of the season to bring in a replacement and will continue to work with his existing coaching staff for the remaining games of the season.
