Bradford (Park Avenue) are delighted to announce the return of Ryan Toulson, who joins Craig Elliott’s management team as Assistant Manager alongside Danny Ellis ahead of the new season.
Well known to the Green Army, Toulson is no stranger to the Horsfall Community Stadium. The former Avenue defender and fan favourite previously combined playing and coaching duties during his time here before departing in 2022 to take the First Team Manager role at Eccleshill United.
Most recently, Toulson was in charge at Liversedge, stepping in as player-manager on an interim basis in September 2024 following the departure of long-serving boss Jonathan Rimmington. After steadying the ship through a challenging period, he was appointed permanently and guided the side through the remainder of the campaign before leaving the role in April.
With a wealth of experience both on the pitch and in the dugout, Toulson brings invaluable knowledge of non-league football and an unwavering commitment to the club he knows so well. Having now officially hung up his boots, he will focus fully on his duties as Assistant Manager, working closely alongside First Team Manager Craig Elliott and fellow Assistant Manager Danny Ellis as Avenue prepare for the challenges ahead in the Northern Premier League East Division.

Everyone at Bradford (Park Avenue) welcomes Ryan back to the club and wishes him every success in his new role.
💚 Welcome back, Tully!
