Bradford Park Avenue have moved quickly to replace the departing Mark Hume.

They have appointed Martin Drury as his successor at Horsfall Stadium.

The former left back picked up his last injury in a game at Gainsborough Trinity at the end of August and hung his boots up last month.

He became the club’s fitness coach working alongside Deacey and Hulme.

With Drury becoming assistant manager, senior squad member Jamie Price has been appointed as player/coach. The new roles will ensure continuity as Deacey still has the same level of trusted and experienced men alongside him.
