Stalybridge Celtic has announced that Manager James Kinsey has signed a new contract with the Club until May 2025.
Having been tasked with rebuilding the Club under the ownership of Nigel Jones and Paul Bowden, a new-look Celtic side have made a strong start to life in the NPL West under Kinsey and his management team, sitting in 2nd place.
After forming a close bond with the Celtic supporters, both the Club and Kinsey have reaffirmed their commitment to each other and to progressing the Club further. Kinsey said: “We’ve had an unbelievable start and I’m enjoying football more than ever.
“It’s a club that is going in the right direction, and everybody here makes life so easy.
”We’ve got a lot of work to do, and we want to continue that. The fans have been unbelievable and I hope this outlines both mine and the Club’s intent to make this project a success.”
Chairman Nigel Jones added: “I am delighted to announce that Stalybridge Celtic FC have today secured a new long-term contract with first-team manager James Kinsey.
“As a Club, we were under no illusion that we were starting behind this season with a brand new squad of players and a much reduced off-season due to events off the field.
“In spite of all of this, it is clear that under James’s leadership, we have built a squad consisting of both talent and togetherness. A push for promotion is now very much on top of our agenda.
“James has also built a fantastic rapport with the fans and this mutual support is great to observe.
“In our view, the securing of James’s future with the Club helps increase stability and is a key piece of our long-term project to push the Club forward.
