League champions Marske United are looking for a new manager following the sudden resignation tonight of Carl Jarrett along with his assistant Nathan Haslam.

Marske came from nowhere to win the league for the first time in their history last season, but Jarrett and Haslam decided to quit after their FA Cup exit at Lancaster on Tuesday night.

They have played just four league games this season, winning two and drawing one, and Jarrett said; “A few things have happened at the club which have made Nathan and me review our positions. Nobody has fallen out with each other, we just feel that we can’t take the club any further.”

Jarrett took over in the summer of 2014 from Ted Watts, and guided them from the bottom half of the league to win the title on a dramatic last day when Shildon failed to win at Bedlington.
