Avenue Legend Danny King Departs the Avenue
We can today confirm that Goalkeeper Coach Danny King has left the Club.
King came in under Mark Bower & Danny Boshell at the start of the 2020/21 season, working alongside Avenue’s #1’s such as Dan Atkinson, and Will Huffer who later returned to professional football at Bradford City.
Danny also coached Johnny Saltmer, then with both George Sykes-Kenworthy and Liam Hall, the latter making an EFL move in August, signing a professional deal with League 2 side Wrexham AFC.
Sykes-Kenworthy would also earn himself a professional contract in the National League with York City, after training under King since December 2021.
Danny King had this to say on his departure;
“It was a tough decision and a lot of thought has gone into it, but it is the right time for me to move on.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time at the club and got to know and work with some amazing players and people.
“I wish the new management team, the players, staff and volunteers behind the scenes and the fans all the best in the coming months.”
While we are sad to see Danny leave the Horsfall, we’d like to put on record our thanks for his commitment to the Avenue over the last 3 seasons, and wish him well in all his future endeavors.
Head Coach Search Update
After interviewing at length last week at the Horsfall, we are continuing discussions with our new potential head coach.
These conversations are detailed and include hierarchy and organisational structure and processes. In the interim as these talks continue, Tom McStravick has agreed to take interim responsibility for the first team training and match days.
We ask for your patience at this time and throw your support behind Tom and the boys.
CONNOR SHANKS LOAN EXTENDED
We can today confirm that Connor Shanks has agreed terms on a loan extension until 2nd January 2024.
Shanks has made 4 appearances whilst at Avenue, scoring one goal.
A big thanks to Spennymoor Town for their help in moving this deal forward.
Club Legend steps down and goes on to new adventures
It is with great sadness that we announce today that club legend, ex-captain, player coach and interim Manager Luca Havern has left the club. Luca has been with the club over the last 5 seasons and has always given his all for the team, his fellow players and also the head coaches he has played for.
He wore his shirt with pride throwing himself into every block and tackle during his time and he leaves with our best wishes, huge thanks and lots of fond memories. Thanks Luca
‘As I step down as interim manager, I have also decided it’s the right time to step away from my role as player/coach. I wish the new management team and the lads the best of luck, and the club every success in rebuilding.
Thank you to all the fans,players, & management during my 6 years at the club.’
