BARNTON are searching for a new first team manager after the surprise departure of Allan Glover.

A former player at Town Field, Glover only joined the club in November after coaching spells at the likes of Chester City and Everton.

His exit comes following a 3-0 win over Atherton LR on Saturday, with Barnton third in North West Counties League Division One.

A club statement said: “We are disappointed to announce the club have parted company with first team manager Allan Glover.

“We would like to place on record our thanks to Al for his work in the short time he was at the club and wish him the best of luck in the future.”
