Crisis-hit Farsley Celtic are searching for their fourth manager of the season after boss Neil Redfearn quit after less than three weeks in charge.
Former Leeds United manager Redfearn was appointed on 17 January and led the Celts to two draws and two defeats in four games. He is understood to have resigned from the club on Thursday.
Neither Redfearn, nor his assistant Pav Singh, were at Farsley Celtic’s 6-1 defeat against relegation rivals Needham Market at Buxton on Saturday, with women’s manager Izzy Roads and youth manager Phil Lake in the dugout.
Management team Clayton Donaldson and Danny Ellis were dismissed in September, while replacement Pav Singh quit last month, returning as assistant a few days later when Redfearn was appointed.
Without a win since Boxing Day, the Celts have played all 31 National League North games and an additional four cup games away from The Citadel due to delays in laying a new 4G pitch. The club, which has been the subject of a boycott of games played at Buxton by members of the supporters’ club, says work on the pitch is scheduled to start next week.
Farsley’s defeat against Needham Market left the club third bottom of the National League North.
