Mark will work closely with the management team and board to get the team promoted this season.

Daryll Thomas added “On behalf of me and Bally we would like to welcome Mark O’Leary to the club who has joined us as first team coach. Adding a coach was always on our priority list over the summer so adding someone of Marks calibre to the backroom team has be immensely valuable for me and Bally - he has spent the last 4 years as academy and first team coach at Macclesfield FC working with Robbie Savage etc so it’s a real
Coup for us.”

“During pre-season he has taken a huge weight off our shoulders and put on some great sessions for the lads and patterns of play which we’ve already seen implemented in the few games we’ve played in Pre-season. Hopefully adding him to the team can save me and gaff YouTubing drills an hour before kick off and winging at training!”

Welcome to the club Mark its great to have you on board!
