Widnes FC are delighted to announce a new management team has been appointed ahead of the 2016-17 season.

Danny Meadowcroft and Brian Pritchard will take joint charge of first team matters after being appointed earlier today.

Fresh off winning the Reusch First Division Cup and promotion to the NWCFL Premier Division via a fine play off final win whilst in temporary charge at former club Barnton, we are hoping the winning habit follows the duo to their new club.

Danny said on his appointment today:

"It's great to have been asked to take over this new and exciting project, it's going to be massive and to be in charge of this team makes me a proud man, and it is a fantastic challenge for us both.

"Last season at Barnton will have put us in good stead and I just want to carry on from there.

"I didn't want the season to end if I'm honest and I owe a lot to Rossi for giving me the opportunity last season, but hopefully I've repaid his faith in me and will continue to do so!

"We're hoping to create a winning side that will encourage the football fans in this town to come out and support the team, and with that, the best players the town has to offer.

"I’m sure as once everybody sees what’s happening at this club we will get that backing, and with that support spurring us on who knows what can happen in the future, the potential here is massive.

"We're extremely lucky that the guys who now run the club are extremely ambitious and have given us a great platform to do well here.

"The works starts today for us, we can't wait for the season to start, it couldn't come quick enough now!"

Good luck to Danny and Pritch, it’s going to be an exciting time for our club!
