New Tadcaster Albion manager Andy Monkhouse

Tadcaster Albion have appointed their new manager following the departures of Craig Ogilvie and Neil Sibson.

First team coach Andy Monkhouse has assumed the throne and will lead Tad.

The former Pontefract Collieries chief, who played for Rotherham United and Hartlepool United in the Football League, has been with Tadcaster since October 2021.

He initially joined as Steve Waide’s assistant before a spell as interim manager.

Monkhouse then became assistant under John Deacey before staying on for Ogilvie and Sibson’s short reign.

A statement said: “The Directors of Tadcaster Albion AFC wish to announce that Joint Managers Craig Ogilvie and Neil Sibson have left the club with immediate effect.

“Craig and Neil joined Tadcaster in mid-September after a poor start to the new season which had seen just four draws in our first eleven competitive games.

“We would like to place on record our appreciation of their considerable efforts to rebuild the playing squad but with the club firmly languishing at the bottom of the Northern Premier League East, and our results as worrying as they were back in September, the Board felt that steps to improve matters should be introduced now at the half way stage of the season.

“First Team Coach Andy Monkhouse has been appointed as Team Manager and his first match in charge will be the Saturday 2nd January at home to Brighouse Town.”
