Change at the top for Trafford
Trafford have promoted Danny Caldecott after manager Tom Baker handed in his resignation.
Baker, 35, stepped down after five seasons in charge citing personal reasons, with assistant manager Caldecott accepting the club’s offer to succeed him.
When the 2019/20 season was curtailed due to coronavirus in March, Trafford were ninth in the NPL N/West Division.
During Baker’s tenure, they reached the play-offs in 2017/18 and notably won the 2019 Integro League Cup, beating NPL champions Farsley Celtic in the final.
A club spokesperson said: “Everyone at the club sends their best wishes and huge thanks to Tom for his hard work and professionalism throughout his tenure, and for the success and memorable moments he has brought to the club. There will always be a warm welcome for him should he return to Shawe View at some point in the future.
“The club has promoted from within and Baker’s assistant-manager Danny Caldecott has accepted the position of manager and is looking forward to the challenge ahead.”
Caldecott has been with Trafford since August 2015, first as a player and then stepping up to assistant in the 2017/18 season.
He previously played for Stalybridge, Hyde, Ashton United, Nantwich Town, New Mills and Droylsden.
