LARKHALL ATHLETIC FC – MANAGERIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Larkhall Athletic Football Club can confirm that, following discussions, it has been mutually agreed that John Durbin will be stepping down from his position as First Team Manager with immediate effect.

Unfortunately, recent results have not been where we would have wanted them to be, and after careful consideration, both parties felt that a change was in the best interests of the club moving forward.

This has been a difficult decision, particularly given the high regard in which John is held by everyone at the club. John is a genuinely great person, whose passion, commitment and enthusiasm for Larkhall Athletic have never been in question. He has given his time and energy to the role and has always conducted himself with professionalism, integrity and a real affection for the football club.

Football management inevitably brings difficult moments, and results are ultimately a major part of the role. However, they should never overshadow the personal qualities and contribution of the individual.

We would like to thank John sincerely for everything he has done for Larkhall Athletic and wish him, both personally and in his future footballing career, every success. He will always be welcome at the club.

The club will now look to move forward and will provide an update on first-team management arrangements in due course.

Paul Rankin - Chairman
