Jackson appointed as new York City manager

York City Ladies FC have announced the return of Dan Jackson to the club, this time as First Team Manager, as they prepare for their next FA Women’s National League Division One North fixture.

The appointment follows the departure of Bobby Paterson, who had guided the MinsterBelles at the start of the season.

Jackson, who previously coached the club’s U16s and Development teams, expressed his enthusiasm for the role. “I’m really proud to step up as First Team Manager at York City Ladies FC,” he said. “Having come through the pathway with the U16s and Development team, I’ve seen first hand the quality and potential that already exists in this squad. I’m excited to work with the players and staff, build strong relationships, and see what we can achieve together this season.”

Club Chair Paula Stainton praised the squad’s resilience during the transition. “I’d like to firstly say thank you to the girls for their resilience over the last few weeks during a short period of uncertainty after the departure of Bobby Paterson as First Team manager,” Stainton stated. “This was unexpected, but we appreciated Bobby’s personal reasoning.

“As always, we move forward with positivity and passion, and are delighted to welcome back Dan Jackson to the club in his new capacity as First Team manager. Dan has been involved for many years with our Talent Academy and Development Teams, and we hope he will provide much-needed stability to the club.”

Jackson’s first match in charge will see York City Ladies host Chester-le-Street Town in the league at the University of York Sports Centre, with kick off scheduled for 2pm.
