29th April, 2025
Former Tadcaster Albion player Ryan Qualter has returned to become their new boss, the NCEL Premier Division club have announced.
He has joined the Brewers from Ossett Albion to be the successor in the dugout to Mick O'Connell who left the Young Guns Arena earlier this month.
Qualter told the club's website: "First and foremost, I would like to thank the chairman and the board of directors for showing faith in myself.
"I am delighted to now start my managerial journey at a club that is very close to my heart.
"I have learnt so much working alongside two great managers in my previous roles but now I believe it’s time for me to take that step.
"I can’t wait to get started and work will start right away and I’m looking forward to meeting all the players and fans and build for a competitive season with Tadcaster Albion."
Brewers chairman Andy Charlesworth added: "We are all really excited to have Ryan back at the club, everyone is looking forward to this new era.
"We will rebuild and go again under Ryan who, when we interviewed him, was buzzing about this new role.
"We want everyone as usual to get behind him as he rebuilds the team and takes the club forward."

Brewers start search for new boss
8th April, 2025
Tadcaster Albion have begun the search for a new manager following the club's decision to part company with manager Mick O'Connell.
The Brewers have ended the NCEL Premier Division in seventeenth position following a disappointing season and the board have decided a "refresh" is required to get ready for the new campaign at the end of July.
A statement released on the club's website said: "The directors would like to thank Mick for all his hard work over the last two seasons, especially all the hard work off the pitch supporting our community programme and working with sponsors.
"When he joined the club just after we had been relegated [from the Northern Premier League], he stabilised the on-pitch performance in his first season but failed to build on a good finish from last season with some very inconsistent results this season."
Anyone interested in applying for the position of manager is asked to send their CV to chairman Andy Charlesworth at andy.charlesworth17@gmail.com.
Closing date for applications is Monday 21st April, 2025.

Brewers bolstered by Premier League fund
18th December, 2024
NCEL Premier Division side Tadcaster Albion have been explaining how support from the Premier League Stadium Fund has helped to secure their future.
The Brewers, who play at Ings Lane, are one of more than a thousand clubs to have received investment from the fund that has provided more than £200m of grants over the past 24 years as part of the top league's support for football at all levels.
The club has received more than £100,000 towards new, energy-efficient LED floodlights, fencing and several relief grants to help the club recover and protect itself from the effects of storms and flooding.
"Our club is at the centre of Tadcaster both geographically and in terms of our community," club chairman Andy Charlesworth told the Premier League website.
"We've got 130 years of history and more than 300 players across twenty-odd junior teams. We attract fans from across Yorkshire and have even got a supporters group based in Norway who come across twice a year!
"The whole town of Tadcaster is prone to flooding due to its low-lying land and position on the river, which presents challenges.
"We hope that the Tadcaster flood alleviation scheme that is proposed will help in the long term as we flood every season and our pitch was submerged six times last year following storms.
"With the help of the Premier League, we've invested over the years in various pieces of technology and been able to work with a specialist sports turf company.
"We've got drains that run across the pitch. If you go to the ground, you'll see the pitch is not quite level, its lowest point in the corner has a great big sump [basin] which means water will drain naturally and we can pump the water away.
"Without the support of the Premier League Stadium Fund, we wouldn't have a club.
"When water levels have been high enough to breach our flood doors and damage the club house, we have been able to access grants to make material repairs and to replace things our insurance was not able to cover."
The Premier League trophy was at the club's NCEL Premier Division fixture against Eccleshill United at the end of last month for photos with fans as well as club president Kevin Derry, a recent recipient of a 50 years long-service award from The FA.
"With the support of the Premier League, we had LED floodlights installed in April," said Tadcaster grants manager James Hamilton. "Firstly, they are reliable and bright and don't take any time to warm up. They are a huge improvement on our old floodlights which needed replacing.
"We are a community club with limited resources and we've had to focus on ensuring the pitch is playable, so this is great.
"We project that the LED floodlights will save us more than 40 per cent on our total energy bill and anything we can do to reduce our carbon footprint is a very good thing."
