Bootle appoint new manager

Bootle have announced the appointment of Mick McGraa as their new manager.

The managerial change follows the recent departure of Dave McNabb who joined Bury on Monday.

McGraa was most recently plying his trade at North West Counties Premier Division side Vauxhall Motors, but also has managerial experience from his time at Conwy United, West Kirby and Cammell Laird.

He led the Motormen to promotion from the NWCFL First Division South, boasting a win percentage of 67.5% with 105 victories from 157 games.

Joining him at the Berry Street Garage Stadium is his backroom staff that included his assistants Steve Aspinall and Alan Morgan, Kyle Scarisbrick and Neil Matheison.

McGraa’s first game in charge of the Bucks will be their FA Trophy Third Qualifying Round clash at home against Bamber Bridge on Sunday 7 October.
