Ashington AFC are delighted to confirm that Marc Ellison has been offered and has accepted the position of First Team Manager following yesterday’s game against Lincoln United.

Marc has made a strong impact since stepping into the role on an interim basis, guiding the side to 25 points from 16 games and helping drive a positive end to the season.

Karl Ross also played an important part in that run and the club would like to place on record its thanks for his support and contribution during that period.

Marc’s work, commitment and the response from the dressing room made this a straightforward decision, and we’re pleased he will lead the club forward.

Everyone at Ashington AFC congratulates Marc on his appointment and looks forward to the next chapter under his management.

Further updates on the overall footballing structure of the club will be announced in due course.

Up the Colliers.
