Interviews for next FC Halifax Town manager to start in next few days

The Shaymen say they have had a “very positive” response to the vacancy, caused by Adam Lakeland’s departure to Morecambe earlier this week, and have received a “healthy number of serious applications.”

Town also say they are set to host some pre-season friendlies at home this summer for the first time in several seasons.

In a post on social media, The Shaymen said: “We are currently in the final stages of organising a number of home and away friendlies.

“Once final terms have been agreed with the opposition clubs, we will announce the fixtures.

“Our pre season event will follow one of the home friendlies.

“We've had a very positive response and a healthy number of serious applications for the managerial position. Interviews will commence over the next few days.”
