Leon Sewell has returned to the Toolstation NCEL as the new manager of Division One side East Yorkshire Carnegie.

Sewell, who left Westella & Willerby in February after five-and-a-half years at the helm that included two seasons in the NCEL, will be assisted by Chris Burke who was his deputy at his previous club.

Jonathan Ricardo, who was player-boss last season as Carnegie finished eighteenth in their inaugural campaign in the league, will continue to help out in the dugout.

A statement released on Thursday evening said that chairman Dave Reader had been working hard to bring Sewell and Burke to Dunswell Park as he "wanted someone with previous NCEL experience to take the club to the next level."

It continued: "Chris and Jonny will assist Leon to ensure the club is supported in the right areas.

"Jonny will continue to play for the club and, whilst doing so, gain the right skills in progressing his future within Carnegie.

"We believe that the foundations are in place to establish the club and understood that having a structure to build from will help push the club forward."
