He had taken over following the departure of long-term boss Ian Richards to
Pitching In Northern Premier League Division One East neighbours Stocksbridge
Park Steels.
A
statement released by the club said: "Unfortunately, due to family
commitments, Brett Lovell has had to sadly make a U-turn and step down as first
team manager of Penistone Church.
"Stephen
Lenthall will make the step up from assistant manager to first team manager and
will be supported by Ryan Johnson.
"We
feel that ‘Lenny’ has deserved this chance on merit, he knows the club inside
out and had many very successful years with our reserves.
"We
thank Brett for everything he’s done for us over the years.
"He
is a top man who is welcome back anytime he’s able to come down”. |
