Huddersfield YMCA chairman Richard Spychalski welcomes new manager Darren Hepworth to his club
Former AFC Emley manager Darren Hepworth is back in football after taking charge of ambitious West Yorkshire League new-boys Huddersfield YMCA.
The role will suit Hepworth as YMCA play few midweek games, a key reason behind his departure from AFC Emley as mounting work commitments meant his availability during the week would be limited.
YMCA chairman Richard Spychalski, a former Emley U19s manager, said: “I am delighted to welcome Daz to the club and having known Daz for a number of years, I am confident that he will hit the ground running and throw himself into this new challenge.
“There are exciting times ahead of us at the club and I know that Daz will commit himself 100% to help us all make this project successful.”
Hepworth was Emley manager for nearly seven years and has been heavily praised for his role in turning the club into a formidable NCEL side.
He was replaced by his assistant Joe Howson.
