Leeds Carnegie have moved quickly to fill their vacant managerial post by appointing Mark Macrow as their new boss.

The KoolSport NCEL Division One side announced earlier this week that Graham Potter was moving to Sweden to take a manager's job in professional football there.

A statement on their website says: "This will be Mark's first chance to manage but he is fully committed to his development as a manager and coach and is relishing the opportunity to take the reins.

"Mark will be ably supported by James Earl who has been ever-present in recent years and who, despite the demands of commuting to and from working in Hull, still commits and is fully supportive of the Carnegie programme."

Director of Football John Hall said: "I think it's a great opportunity for Mark to step up to the plate. The position will challenge him but I think he will respond well.

"He knows the players having worked with them this season and understands where they are at having played both university and semi-professional football with Harrogate Railway, Harrogate Town and Alfreton Town.

"James will be great support for Mark as they have worked closely with Graham throughout and have already deputised for him at training and matchdays when called upon.

"They work well together and both believe in how we want to play and have benefited immensely from working alongside Graham.

"The players respect them and, therefore, I don't envisage any major changes in how we operate and so it is the logical step to allow them to step up."
