FF News Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Former Darlington player Mark Convery has been appointed joint-manager of Ebac Northern League First Division club Newcastle Benfield. Convery, 34, had two spells with Quakers as a player, before dropping into non-League football and playing for several clubs, including York City and Cambridge United, before joining Benfield three years ago. He will be joint-manager with another senior player, Paul Brayson, who is the club’s leading scorer this season with 16 league goals, and previously has been a prolific scorer at all his clubs. The pair took over as temporary managers when Steve Bowey departed a month ago, and the club has decided to give them a permanent chance. A club spokesman said: “Mark and Paul could be a good combination. Both have a load of experience and local knowledge. They know the club and have worked with chairman Jimmy Rowe for a number of years. They both want to play the game the way the club wants it played as well. Hopefully they’re a good appointment for the long-term. “Our thoughts are to try and stabilise the club this season and kick on next. “We’d like to thank all the other applicants for their interest.” Credit: Ray Simpson (Northern Echo) Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
