HIGHLY-RESPECTED former Bradford City youth coach Pav Singh has a new role in West Yorkshire football.

Having previously managed Albion Sports, and been Jonathan Rimmington's long-time assistant at Liversedge, he has now been promoted at Farsley Celtic, going from being their joint-head of development to their director of football operations.

A Football Association regional coach developer, Singh could play a key role in Farsley's National League North survival, with four sides dropping out of the 24-team division this season, compared to just one last term.

The Celts are third-bottom of the table, five points off safety, but they have two games in hand on Boston United, directly above them, and have played one match less than Kettering Town, the side currently 20th and safe as it stands.
