FORMER York City boss Neil Thompson looks set to be offered a possible player-coach role at Scarborough.

Playing as sweeper, Thompson impressed at the McCain Stadium after linking up with Seasiders for a second spell at the end of last season.

It followed his February dismissal from Bootham Crescent.

Conference-outfit Scarborough, who are reportedly losing over £1,000 a day, are also trying to seal the signing of former Hartlepool player Denny Ingram.

Ingram also impressed at the end of last season playing in a variety of positions while on loan at the McCain Stadium.

Former City midfielder Shaun Reid has been appointed assistant manager at Carlisle United. Reid played 120 games for York between 1988 and 1992, scoring eight times.

The Carlisle appointment is Reid's first management role since retiring as a player.

He made more than 300 league appearances in a career at Chester City, Preston North End, Bury and Rochdale. He teams up with Carlisle manager Ian Atkins.

Reid was manager John Bird's most expensive signing at Bootham Crescent, joining for a fee of £32,500, and he made his debut as City's skipper in the scoreless derby clash with Scarborough in 1988.

When John Ward took over as manager Reid was released.

Reid is the brother of Sunderland manager Peter Reid, the former England international.
