Tigers unveil Hindley as new boss
29th May, 2017
Worksop Town have announced that Ryan Hindley has returned to the club he played for to become the new manager of the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division side.
The 34 year-old, who moves up a division from Hallam, will be assisted by Jon Kennedy, who was interim boss at Sandy Lane for the final part of last season, and Steven Whitehead.
A statement on the Tigers' website said: "After a very thorough process and some very credible applicants, the club couldn't look past Hindley's passion and desire for Worksop Town.
"He leaves Hallam FC after three years at the helm, guiding them to the play-off semi finals last season.
"The popular former Tiger is now keen to get started at Sandy Lane and is glad to be approaching his first season in the NCEL Premier Division with a club so close to his heart."
Hindley added: "It's emotional, it's exciting, it's everything I've worked towards as a manager and I can't wait to get started. I'm over the moon because it's a dream job for me.
"Having been a player here I know what the fans look for, I want to get them on the edge of their seats and play attacking football, we will be hardworking and difficult to beat. The fans demand we get the ball forward, score goals and entertain.
"I want to target a top six finish. First and foremost, it's about getting the right calibre of players together because this club isn't just any old club, this is the club to be at.
"We can attract an incredible fan base and with an outstanding surface to play on it's very exciting for me."

Kennedy rules out becoming permanent boss
30th April, 2017
Stand-in Worksop Town manager Jon Kennedy has ruled out taking the role on a permanent basis, meaning the Tigers will need to start the search for a new backroom team ahead of the 2017/18 Toolstation NCEL Premier Division season.
Speaking after the current campaign came to a close with a 2-0 home defeat to Thackley, he told the club's website: "I've been disappointed recently to be honest, I feel that me and [assistant] Craig [Denton] have been underappreciated in what has been a terribly difficult situation and I am not considering the job at the moment."
The loss meant that Worksop ended the current campaign in thirteenth position, having picked up just two points from their final seven matches.
A statement from the Tigers' Management Group said: "I am very disappointed that Jon and Craig have decided not to put their names forward to carry on with a job they have handled perfectly in very difficult circumstances, and dismayed that their decision has been driven by a precipitative reaction on the part of some members of the fan base because matches were not won on limited resources.
"Jon stepped forward without hesitation when needed and Craig joined him. Their attitude has been exemplary. They genuinely, and without any prompting, put their own financial positions second to the needs of the team budget and the club. Refreshing!
"The club is now faced with the task of recruiting a new management team for next season.
"Let me say from the outset that this will be undertaken in an organised and structured way. There will be no knee-jerk appointments. The process will take as long as it takes. I appreciate supporters will want to know what, when, who, but we will not be rushed or pestered."
