Farsley Celtic manager Pav Singh resigns and three players depart as chaos at Leeds club rumbles on
Farsley Celtic’s manager has quit and three players have left in a chaotic weekend for the Leeds professional football club.
The west Leeds club’s chairman Paul Barthorpe confirmed in a statement on its website on Saturday that manager Pav Singh has resigned.
But the statement said he would remain as a club ambassador and continue to have an “input in the operations and future of the club”.
It came a day after the announcement that the Celts captain and record appearance holder Chris Atkinson was leaving the club. Atkinson had been side-lined with injury this season and was supporting Singh in a managerial role.
Two other key players, DJ Campton-Sturridge and Ben Atkinson, have also been released from their contracts in recent days.
It comes amid a turbulent year at Farsley, as the club has been forced to play its home games at Buxton in Derbyshire
