Toolstation NCEL Premier Division
John Whitehead’s promotion to assistant manager of Penistone Church has been confirmed.
The Church reserve team joint boss has been seen recently Stephen Lenthall at first team matches in the NCEL and Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup.
There has certainly been a few changes at Penistone in the past few months.
Whitehead, along with Scott Briggs, succeeded long-serving Lenthall as the joint managers of the reserve team which plays in the Premier Division of the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League.
Lenthall then became first team boss in September when Ian Richards left for Stocksbridge Park Steels and Brett Lovell decided against taking the job on.
Briggs will now plough his own furrow as the sole manager of the reserves.
Chris Drew will work with him as the new player/coach.
