Former Ipswich Town loanee David Stockdale has been named the new manager of Farsley Celtic.
The 39-year-old becomes the National League North side’s fourth new boss of the 2024/25 season, replacing Neil Redfearn, who left his role after just 20 days in charge.
It has been an eventful year for the West Yorkshire outfit as they have been forced to play their home games at Buxton FC, 64 miles away from their Citadel home, which is unavailable due to issues with its surface.
This has seen senior players and staff leave the club, with supporters boycotting matches. They have also launched a campaign to raise £25,000.
The former goalkeeper Stockdale returns to the management for the first time since leaving his role at Blyth Spartans back in October. 0:00

On his new role, he said: “I’m a local lad and I want to help. I’ve been coming here for a long time.
“I’ve spoken to the directors and I was impressed with what they are aiming to do with the club. It’s about being competitive. I don’t quit and I always keep going until the end.
“Football is unpredictable, we’re going to do everything we can to improve. Plans are in place for moving forward and I’m looking forward to helping the club get back to its former self.”
Stockdale spent the first half of the 2011/12 season with the Blues on loan from Fulham, making 11 appearances during his spell at Portman Road.
