The chairman and board of Atherton LR would like to place on record their thanks to Shaun and his team for their services for the club but believe a change is necessary at this point.

Shaun was appointed during the 2016/17 season and the board believes he leaves the club in a better state than it was before, with that said, the board also believes it is the right time to make a change at the helm of the club.

The club will now search for an interim manager from the current management team to take control of the club until the search for a new permanent manager is done.

An announcement regarding the club’s interim manager will be made over the next few days.
