Armthorpe Welfare have announced that Michael Carmody is the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division side ' s new manager.
He joins from Division One outfit Selby Town where he was coach and will meet his new players for the first time on Thursday evening.
His debut in the dugout was in the Buildbase FA Vase First Qualifying Round match at home to Congleton Town two days later.
Carmody replaces Brian Johnson who stepped down as boss last month after three years in charge.
His first aim will be to move Armthorpe away from the foot of the Premier Division table having lost their opening seven matches of the season.
Carmody is no stranger to the FA Vase as he reached the final for Emley in 1987 / 88, losing 1-0 to Colne Dynamoes at Wembley Stadium.
The former professional football played as a midfielder for Huddersfield Town, Emley, Tranmere Rovers and Altrincham in a career spanning over 15 years, playing in over
Founded: 1926 Ground: Welfare Ground Years in NCEL: 1983- Nickname:
200 league games. His wealth of experience will bring in much needed structure, organisation and leadership.
Former employers Selby Town were quick to pay tribute to Carmody’ s time at the club.
““ We would like to thank Mick for all his hard work and dedication he showed at Selby and wish him all the best in his new role. He showed us the potential he has in his short time at Selby Town and we are certain he will do well.”
Additionally, Gary Collier has been revealed as Armthorpe Welfare’ s new assistant manager after Mick Carmody unveiled his backroom staff.
It is one of the first moves made by ex-Selby Town coach Carmody since his appointment. Collier and Carmody previously worked together at York Premier League outfit Riccall United. Striker Collier leaves
