Thackley have ended the search for Paddy McGuire’s replacement by appointing joint managers.
Interim boss Tom Greaves will lead the Dennyboys alongside ex-Silsden chief Danny Forrest.
A statement said: “The Club are delighted to unveil Tom and Danny as Joint Managers for Thackley AFC. It has been clear that since Tom has taken charge on a temporary basis that there has been a lift in the spirits around the Club and especially amongst the playing squad.
“There hasn’t been a significant turnover of players in the squad, but a few tweaks to systems, shape and personnel has resulted in a noticeable change in performances and results.
“The Club was mindful that this group of players went through a period of 9 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 12 games in September and October, and we were a big believer that this squad of players had more to offer than the current league position would suggest.
“We see the appointment of Tom, a well-liked and respected figure in the dressing room, as an appointment which will help retain and motivate our First Team squad.
“It is now for Tom to continue his good work and to see us through to the end of this season and build into next season.
“We knew that if Tom was to take the role, we would need to ensure he had a strong voice on the side-lines whenever he was on the pitch.
“Tom has scored 20 goals so far this season and we wanted to ensure we did not lose him from the playing squad by him being appointed as permanent Manager.
“We are therefore delighted to welcome Danny to Thackley AFC. Danny is one of the brightest young Managers in the area and is a real asset to the Club.
“From a period of uncertainty, we feel that we have secured a high-calibre Management Team. It is now for us as a Club to ensure that we provide Tom and Danny with the best support possible off the pitch to allow them to bring consistent success on it.”
