Pontefract Collieries and manager Andy Monkhouse have parted company

“We would like to thank Andy and his management team for all hard work during this difficult time for the whole country.

“We wish Andy all the best for the future.

“This is a very difficult time for all football clubs, but we look forward to better days in the future when we can all get back to supporting the club. In the meantime we hope everyone stays safe and well, we can’t wait to see you all back enjoying football at the Colls.”
