CLUB STATEMENT: New manager

Workington AFC would like to announce the appointment of Darren Edmondson as first team manager.

Darren was high on our list of targets as we looked to fill the vacant position. He fits our club profile perfectly and his links within the county and beyond will bring footballing benefits across the whole club.

On top of that of course he was our longest serving manager in his previous spell with the club.

Darren will bring with him Richard Prokas who was his assistant at Penrith and they will work alongside Brian Dawson and Billy Redden to prepare the squad for the new NPL season.

We are delighted to have got Darren and Richard into the club. They share our ambition and desire to continue to climb the pyramid whilst maintaining the club in a position of stability and sustainability. Our aim is nothing less than continued progression and building on the foundations that have been laid over the past few seasons.

Vice Chairman Richard Lewthwaite

A full feature and interview will follow in due course but it remains to say we look forward to working with Darren and Richard going forward.
