Spennymoor have appointed two new backroom staff following the departure of Brian Atkinson to Darlington.

Jason Ainsley, manager of the league champions, has appointed Gavin Fell as his assistant manager, and Glen McCartney as first team coach.

Fell was previously at Blyth, and McCartney was at Sunderland RCA, as well as coaching Sunday club Hetton Lyons.

"Both Gavin and Glen came across as very enthusiastic and keen to be part of the club and are looking forward to joining the management team," said Ainsley. " They are very impressed with the set up that we have at the club and we would like to welcome them both to the Brewery Field."
