When we applied we were told by a number of people what a top club Barnoldswick Town is and they weren't wrong; the fans, volunteers and Board have been fantastic and I won't forget that.

We've had some good wins and highs throughout the year which has seen an increase win %, but also some results where we needed to perform better and I'm happy to own that. The club want to be pushing towards the top end of this division and have good ambitions to support that over the next years. Change is always required to achieve that and whilst we started making those changes it's been agreed that now is the right moment for the club and I to go in different directions. I leave with respect for everyone at the club and confidence that the foundations are in place for future success.

Lastly, to the players that brought in to what we wanted... thankyou, You'll always have my appreciation. Keep working hard for the Town, the Club and Yourselves.
