Halifax manager Lakeland leaves club to become new Morecambe boss

Lakeland guided Town to 8th place in his first season in charge of the club, doing an impressive job and constructing a good squad at The Shay with some superb signings.

He joins a Morecambe team who have just been relegated to the National League North and who he beat home and away with The Shaymen last season.

In a statement, FC Halifax Town said: “It's with disappointment that we confirm, manager Adam Lakeland has decided to leave FC Halifax Town and take up the role of first team manager at Morecambe FC.

"We'd like to put on record our thanks to Adam for his hard work and professionalism this season in guiding us to an 8th place finish, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.

"We wish Adam and his family every success for the future.

"The club will commence its search for a new manager to ensure a swift but positive appointment. (All CVs in the first instance to be sent to [email protected]).”
