Worsbrough Bridge Athletic manager Conor Glavin resigns after defeat to Barton Town

Worsbrough Bridge Athletic manager Conor "Glav" Glavin has resigned following the 2-0 home defeat to Barton Town on Wednesday 11 November.

Glavin joined the club shortly after Covid under then-manager Luke Forgione and was quickly made captain, going on to captain the side to promotion. He stepped up to take charge of the first team following the departure of Lee Morris. Worsbrough said that came during "one of the most turbulent periods in the club's recent history", with several players leaving and long-serving chairman Mark Booth also departing.

The club's results under Glavin were six defeats from six games, with seven goals scored and 18 conceded. They lost 3-2 at home to Retford United on Saturday 24 October, 5-1 away to Knaresborough on Tuesday 3 November and 4-2 on Friday 6 November, before the loss to Barton Town.

Worsbrough said: "Glav, you have given everything you possibly could to this football club. Your commitment, loyalty and leadership will never be forgotten, and you will always be remembered as a Briggers legend."

Applications for the first-team manager's position are now open, and the situation will be discussed at a fans' AGM on Thursday 12 November. Worsbrough Bridge Athletic play Golcar on Saturday 14 November.
