Teversal Football Club has moved swiftly to appoint a new Manager after the resignation of Stace Leaper due to personal reasons over the weekend.

The Tevie Committee would like to go on record to thank Leaper who had held the top seat for last season.

The club finished tenth in Northern Counties East League Division One and were Wilkinson Sword Trophy runners-up, making it the club's best ever finish in the National League system.

With the season due to start within two weeks, the Teversal Committee felt that it was important to have continuity and find a replacement to continue the year-on-year improvements the club has made over a number of years.

With that in mind, the club are proud to announce that Paul Thompson will move from Reserve Team Manager to be at the helm.

Thompson has done an excellent apprenticeship within the club, having been Reserve Team Manager for the past eight years.

And, he's been a very important part of the club's rise and has earned the opportunity to have a shot at leading the club's senior football section.

The playing squad have been informed of the changes and now full focus will return on getting the first team ready for the opening game at home to new boys Brighouse Town.
