Where are they now: Chris Millington's starting 11 for his first game as Halifax manager at Barnet back in August 2022

Chris Millington took over as Halifax manager in the summer of 2022 and has guided the club to two play-off finishes and an FA Trophy final success since then.

Millington stepped up to become Town boss soon after the 2021-22 season ended, replacing Pete Wild when he left to join Barrow.

After a tough start in his first season, The Shaymen eventually managed an 11th placed finish and went on to win the FA Trophy for the second time in their history by beating gateshead 1-0 at Wembley.

Millington then guided Halifax to a play-off finish in his second season before losing 4-2 to Solihull Moors.

Another top seven finish was secured this season, but Town crashed out at the first hurdle again, losing 4-0 at Oldham Athletic.

We take a look back at his first team selection as Shaymen boss, in a 2-0 defeat at Barnet on August 6, 2022 and see where those players are now.
