Kendal appoint new manager

Fawcett, who was part of the management team last season, succeeds Steve Edmondson and is joined by John Foley as first team coach.

A club spokesperson said: “Gary and John were part of the management team during last Season and the Committee felt these appointments would give the players continuity.

“Recruitment of a management team and players was always going to be difficult in the light of a perceived shortened season the start of which is still completely unknown.”

Jay Rossi has been elected vice-chairman and all other roles to complete the restructure of the club’s management have been made.
