Neil Redfearn has been appointed manager of Farsley Celtic.
This from Farsley:
Neil needs very little introduction with a playing career of over 1000 games, almost 800 of which were in the EFL as well as over 20 years of managing experience at clubs such as York City, Rotherham United and of course Leeds United!
We received a huge number of applicants for the role, many of whom were really stand out candidates. But Neil’s experience, quality, knowledge of the game, his positivity and affiliation to Leeds and the local area made him the right choice for us!
He will be assisted by Pav Singh, who has worked with Neil before at Leeds United. Having left the club a week ago, Pav has decided that his love and passion for the club, the project, the players and the fans is too great to walk away from completely. This role will allow Pav to find a better work life balance and still have a significant involvement in the club he loves.
Chairman Paul Bathorpe stated: “We are absolutely delighted to be able to welcome Neil to the club, a manager of his reputation, standing in the game and his obvious qualities will help us achieve what we want to achieve!
Neil has said : “I’m looking forward to the challenge and helping to progress and evolve Farsley Celtic FC. I know the history of football in Leeds and how proud everyone is at Farsley to be part of that history.”
Farsley are playing Scarborough this evening.
