All the indications are that JP is to stay on at Edgar Street in his roll as physiotherapist and matchday "sponge-man". Pitman will be the only remaining member of the footballing staff as Manager, Simon Davey, assembles his backroom team.
Bulls News understands that Pitman will work under a fully qualified supervisor to enable The Club to comply with Football League requirements.
The former midfielder spent two spells with the Club as a player joining The Bulls back in early 1996. He missed most of the relegation season but stayed for the first season in The Conference before moving on to Weovil Town and then Woking.
Pitman returned to Edgar Street in 2002/03 scoring a brace in his first game against Farnborough. He missed only a handful of games in the next two season and played his last game for The Bulls in the Conference Play-Off final at Leicester before being released and joining up with leading Gloucestershire club, Forest Green.
He made his return to Edgar Street in August 2008 replacing the departed Wayne Jones.
