Conor Glavin has stepped down as manager of Worsbrough Bridge Athletic, the Macron NCEL Premier Division side have announced.

Glavin, known as Glav, took over the role at the start of October but his departure comes after a run of nine defeats in all competitions, the latest a 2-0 home loss to Barton Town on Tuesday night.

A statement released on social media by the club read: "Glav originally joined the Briggers shortly after Covid, under then-manager Luke Forgione, and was quickly handed the captain’s armband.

"Since then, he has demonstrated outstanding leadership, commitment and loyalty, both on and off the pitch, most notably captaining the club to promotion.

"More recently, Glav stepped up to take charge of the first team following the departure of Lee Morris, during what has undoubtedly been one of the most turbulent periods in the club’s recent history.

"With several players departing and the recent departure of long-serving chairman Mark Booth, Glav took on the responsibility of leading the team through a particularly challenging period.

"Glav, you have given everything you possibly could to this football club. Your commitment, loyalty and leadership will never be forgotten, and you will always be remembered as a Briggers legend.

"On behalf of everyone associated with Worsbrough Bridge AFC, we thank you for everything you have done and wish you nothing but success in the future.

"The current situation and the club’s plans moving forward will be discussed further at tonight’s Fans AGM, where supporters will have the opportunity to hear from the new leadership.

"Our immediate attention now turns to Saturday’s fixture against Golcar, as we look to move forward and bring stability to the football club."

The club are now inviting applications for the position of first team manager and interested candidates should contact joint chairman Luke Forgione at lukeforgione@4g1footballacademyltd.com.
