Farsley Celtic have tonight announced the shock departure of head coach Clayton Donaldson and assistant coach Danny Ellis.
WLD understands the duo have been relieved of their duties due to ‘football reasons’.
In a statement issued on the club’s website tonight, chairman Paul Barthorpe said: “When making decisions of this kind, a large number of contributory factors are taken into consideration, but ultimately the board works solely for the benefit of Farsley Celtic FC, its development and its future. That’s where our loyalties are and will always be.
“Danny and Clayton are both registered as players with the club, and we still retain that registration.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank both Danny and Clayton for their efforts and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”
Director of Football Pav Singh will take over the reins as manager, and will be assisted by club captain Chris Atkinson as well as UEFA ‘A’ licensed coach and vice captain Conor Branson.
The Celts are enjoying a positive start to the season, by winning three of their first six league games in National League North and sitting just outside the playoff positions in tenth place.
