Thornton exits Handsworth due to work commitments

Joe Thornton has stepped down as Handsworth assistant manager because of work commitments

Joe Thornton has had to step down from his Handsworth assistant manager role because of work commitments.

The ex-Shaw Lane and Athersley Rec frontman Thornton became Russ Eagle’s number two back in April, but has recently had to change jobs.

Thornton said: “I’ve changed jobs so I can’t commit 100% as an assistant manager should be.

“I have spoke to Russ about it and he was sound about it. I may also get my boots back out yet as I don’t want to leave the game fully, but we shall see.”
