The Board have invited applications for the vacant managerial position.
In the interim, Martin Coyne has invited Harry Bunn to join him in the dugout, with club captain Jack Redshaw as player coach. As a player, Harry needs no introduction, having been with us until January this year when he left and joined Avro, but he has vast football league experience and is keen to progress a coaching career. We wish them well in the coming fixtures

The Board of Hyde United can announce we have reluctantly received the resignation of First Team Manager Nick Spooner with immediate effect.
This news came as a shock to the board and Nick wanted to express his gratitude for being given the opportunity to manage the club in his first senior management role.
Also leaving the club with immediate effect is First Team Coach Gavin McCann.
Nick joined the club in February 2022 and successfully saved the Tigers from relegation before embarking on two successive seasons with sixth place finishes, narrowly missing out on the play offs on both occasions.
Under Nick’s tenure we lifted our first Cheshire Senior Cup title for twenty-seven years in 2024 with the memorable victory over Crewe Alexandra and also reached two Manchester Premier Cup Finals.
Nick wished to comment “It’s been an absolute privilege to manage this football club over the last number of years. I’ve appreciated all the backing from the board and the supporters from the first minute. We have had some great times however; it’s the right moment for me to step back and give the opportunity to someone else to take the team forward. I wish everyone at the football club all the best”.
The club regret that their tenure here has come to an end and would like to thank Nick and Gavin for all of their hard work over the past three and a half years and wish them all the best for the future in whatever comes next. They will always be welcomed back at the Project Solar Stadium.
In the interim, the First Team will be led by Martin Coyne, Chris Shaw, and First Team captain Jack Redshaw.
We have added left back Josh Shaw to the squad, Josh made his debut in the 2-2 draw at home to Prescot Cables.
The 21 year old came through the ranks at West Brom, where he made his professional debut in an FA cup tie at home to Aldershot Town.
Josh made 12 appearances on loan for Marine in the National League North last season.
We have two fixture changes for your diaries, first if all we have a date for our Cheshire Senior Cup tie away at Stockport Town, this will now take place on Monday 13th October with a 7:45pm kick off
Also the home fixture against Ilkeston has been moved back two days and will now take place on Saturday 3rd January 2026 with a 3pm kick off.
We have signed Luke Partington on loan from Radcliffe FC. Luke is a right back who was signed from Stockport County last summer where he made nine apperances, he also spent time on loan at Stalybridge Celtic last season and has experience of playing in the Northern Premier Division at Atherton Colleries in the past.
The 19-year-old has signed for a month initially and will provide an option in the absence of Harry Ditchfield.

Nick Spooner has added to his squad by bringing in 20-Year-Old striker Charlie Frost.
Frost scored 34 goals and got nine assists last season at North West Counties side Nelson FC.
Welcome Charlie!
Meanwhile leaving us is Saj Elhassan, Saj picked up an injury in pre-season and with game time being limited it was felt best to part ways.
We wish Saj well.
