Last night we confirmed the news that Pontefract man and Colls club legend, Jimmy Williams, will be our First Team Manager for the upcoming 2024/25 season.
Jimmy joined The Colls in June 2016 as a player under Craig Parry and Craig Rouse, before going on to achieve back to back promotions to the Northern Premier League. As club vice captain Jimmy often donned the armband and almost led the club to a third promotion in a row in our first season at step four.
After a short break during COVID-19 times – one we shall not mention – Jimmy returned to the club, this time under the management of Craig Rouse. As a playing/assistant manager Jimmy has been part of more great memories in recent years and he’ll be looking to add to those in the coming years himself.
Jimmy has also moved quickly to confirm members of his backroom staff, as Gavin Rothery and Lee Kelsey will remain in their roles at the club.
We shall bring you more from our new manager in the coming days.
