Heath To Manage Lincoln United

 

Former Alfreton manager Billy Heath is to manage Lincoln United.

This from Lincoln United: 

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Billy Heath as the club’s new First Team Manager. Billy arrives with an outstanding pedigree across non-league football, having enjoyed success at several clubs including Alfreton Town and Halifax Town. His most notable spell came at North Ferriby, where he guided the Villagers to promotion to the National League and lifted the FA Trophy at Wembley. A familiar face to the Ashby Avenue faithful, Billy also represented Lincoln United as a centre-back during the 1990s, making this appointment not only one of quality, but one that brings a former White back home. 

Director of Football, Dave Frecklington, expressed his enthusiasm about the appointment: “ We want Lincoln to have a non-league club that reflects the ambition of our professional neighbours and a city that thrives on football. Without ambition, drive and hard work - what’s the point? So enjoy the ride, and welcome Billy!”

 Club Chair, Stuart Reddington, added: “Billy’s appointment marks a significant moment for Lincoln United. As a board, we knew we needed a manager with proven quality, leadership, and a consistent record of building successful teams, and Billy brings all of that in abundance.”
