The local duo arrive at the Neuven Stadium following the departure of previous manager Bobby Grant, and will take the helm ahead of the 2023/24 campaign. An experienced pair with over 600 managerial games under their belt, Johnson and Morley have blossoming CV’s in the game with a number of successes across various clubs, starting off with Ramsbottom United. They achieved back-to-back promotions in six years with the Greater Manchester outfit, taking the Rams to their highest ever finishing position before departing for Salford City, where they featured on the `Class of ‘92` documentary. The Ammies` skyrocketed through the non-League system under their management, earning a trio of promotions in a three-year stint to take them to the Vanarama National League, as well as an FA Cup run which saw Salford reach the Second Round in an eye-catching 2015/16 campaign. Leaving the club with their heads held high in 2018, a move to Chester would follow where they steadied the ship after relegation from the National League under a previous manager, later exiting the club in 2021 before joining Spennymoor Town for a year a month later. Proven track records of success sees the Bury-born pair arrive at the Neuven Stadium as the perfect candidates to take us forward, looking to excel on last season’s positive campaign. Anthony Johnson told https://www.radcliffefc.com: “The improvement of the football club has been unbelievable to see as we’re local lads, so we’ve seen it grow from double figures in attendance to high three figures and touching four at times. Our ambitions match those at the club so we knew it was the right decision to come here, the visions align and we know where we want to get to. “We’re absolutely buzzing to be here, the fans have passion and it’s up to us to make sure they have a team on the pitch that put the shirt on to go out and put 100% in every game and are desperate to win.” After re-kindling with the club that he once called home as a player, Bernard Morley said: “We’ve looked at Radcliffe and seen a project that we want to be a part of. The timings key for me in particular after a short break away from the game, but I’m ready to go again now and we’re excited to get started”.
