Halifax Town boss Millington steps down

Chris Millington guided Halifax to a sixth-placed finish this season before they were beaten at Oldham in the play-offs

Halifax Town boss Chris Millington has stepped down after three seasons.

The 49-year-old had been in charge of the National League side since May 2022 when he changed roles from assistant manager after Pete Wild left for Barrow.

He twice led the Shaymen to top seven finishes and guided them to FA Trophy victory in 2023.

"I am devastated that I will not be the man to lead Halifax Town back to the EFL but I believe the time is right for a change of manager," he told the club website.

"The club needs a manager to come and build on the solid foundation and positive reputation that has been built over the last six years.

"The club will always hold a special place in my heart and I wish everyone connected all the best."
