Nathan Peat has left his role as manager of Toolstation NCEL Division One side Brigg Town, the Zebras have announced.

Peat had taken over the role in the summer following the departure of Marcus Newell by mutual consent, swapping playing in defence for a place in the dugout at the EC Surfacing Stadium.

The news came after Saturday's home league loss to Retford FC, their third defeat in a row in a run that had also seen them exit the Isuzu FA Vase at the Second Round stage.

The Zebras are currently seventh in the table, two points away from the play-off zone and nineteen points behind runaway leaders Campion.

The announcement of Peat's departure was made by Brigg in a post on social media that read: "The club regrets to confirm it has parted company with First Team Manager Nathan Peat.

"We would like to thanks Nathan for his hard work and commitment to the role, and wish him all the best for the future."
