Claisse takes over at South Leeds
22nd September, 2025
Tom Claisse has been unveiled as the new manager at Macron NCEL Division One side South Leeds.
He replaces Craig Ogilvie who parted company with the club at the weekend and comes just days after he left Premier Division outfit Frickley Athletic.
A statement released on the club's social media on Monday evening said: "Tom is a local man from Leeds and, after a chat with the chairman, the pair agreed that this is the right fit for both going forward and he is keen to give it his best for his local non-league club.
"He most recently managed NCEL Premier Division side Frickley Athletic on the back of a stellar playing and coaching career, becoming the captain of the RAF and UK Armed Forces football teams.
"And, a career which saw him turn out for the likes of Bradford City, Livingston, Emley, Ossett United, Tadcaster Albion, North Ferriby and other local clubs from professional football through the pyramid at non-league.
"Welcome to South Leeds, Tom!"
Claisse's first game in charge will be at home to Glasshoughton Welfare on Wednesday night.
