CLUB STATEMENT: Neil Reynolds

The club have this afternoon confirmed the departure of first team manager Neil Reynolds.

Club Chairman, Fran Doyle, has issued the following statement on behalf of the club:

"During the past two weeks there has been much speculation regarding the future of Bamber Bridge Football Club manager, Neil Reynolds.

The speculation arose following an approach by FC United of Manchester for Neil to become their manager.

This approach was turned down by Bamber Bridge FC as Neil was under contract to this club.

Discussions between Neil and both clubs continued and following the approval of a compensation agreement with FC United of Manchester, Bamber Bridge Football Club have reluctantly agreed to release Neil from his contract with the club.

Neil has served Bamber Bridge Football Club as both a player and manager with great skill, dedication, integrity and passion for over two decades. Under Neil’s management the club has won the Integro cup and were promoted to the NPL Premier Division.

Neil will take charge of his last match this Saturday at home to Basford United.

On behalf of everyone at Bamber Bridge Football Club we offer our thanks to Neil for everything he has done for this club and wish him every success for the future.

Up the Brig!"
