Radcliffe FC have confirmed the departure of first-team manager Lee Fowler by mutual consent

Fowler came to the club in February 2020 following the departure of Jon Macken.

The former Welsh under 21 international managed 30 competitive games for the club, in seasons blighted by the pandemic.

His final game in charge was last night's 3-1 defeat against Morpeth Town.

A brief club statement read: "Radcliffe FC confirm Manager Lee Fowler has left the club by mutual consent.

"All at Radcliffe Football Club would like to thank Lee for his considerable contribution to development at the club.

"A further statement will be issued in due course."

Lee Fowler tweeted his best wishes for the club going forward.

I Would like to wish everyone at @radcliffeboro all the best for the future. I have met some great people along the way 👍🏻

"A top coach, loved by the players and always put them first!

"As a group of players, we have to take responsibility for where we are currently!"
