Selby Town have appointed Michael Gray as manager after the departure of Bob Lyon.

Gray, former assistant boss at Armthorpe Welfare, and number two John Steeples have succeeded Lyon and Gary Cygan at the Northern Counties East League premier division club.

Said Gray: “It’s a big step for us both, but we are relishing the challenge.

“Having played Selby a number of times, they play the game how it should be played and we hope to continue in the same style.”
