Phil Lindley has been appointed as Mick Norbury’s assistant manager at Glasshoughton Welfare.
The former Frickley Athletic, Bradford (Park Avenue) and Goole midfielder will also register as a player.
He will assist Norbury in the quest to put Glasshoughton back on an even keel after a hugely disappointing season which saw them finish bottom of the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division.
Lindley arrives from Pontefract Collieries, who he helped win promotion with a number of excellent displays in defence.
Lindley, who is a partner at the locally-based A1 Football Factory, is vastly experienced and lists winning the old Northern Premier League First Division as one of achievements.
