Workington Reds will have a new management structure for next season.

Derek Townsley will assume the role of general team manager, with his assistants from last season, Lee Andrews and Dave Hewson, becoming joint managers.

Chairman Glenn Heathcote said: "Derek has been concerned about the number of games he has missed throughout the season which was more than he envisaged".

"That put more focus on the other two members of the team, so from next season, David and Lee will become joint managers with Derek assuming the title of general team manager."

This follows a successful and exciting campaign which culminated in the club reaching the Evo-Stik premier division play-off final and winning the County Cup at Brunton Park.

The trio emphasised that they are all fully committed to continuing the excitement and success of the last two seasons and this re-structure of titles will not have any effect on how the team is managed and coached.
