York City have appointed David Webb as first team manager, after sacking John Askey at the start of November.

Webb- who has worked with Premier League sides including Tottenham and Crystal Palace- will take over at the start of next week.

His first game in charge will be against Woking on Saturday 10th December.

Webb is joined by Michael Morton who is making the move from Leeds United's academy to become his assistant manager.

On the appointments, York City chairman Glen Henderson said: “I am incredibly pleased to welcome David and Michael to the club as our new first team management team.

“The key to this appointment was finding someone who aligns with our long-term vision for the club, and David was the standout candidate from the start.

“He is talented and experienced across all aspects of managing a football club, from first team management, player development, scouting, coaching, motivation, and with an excellent understanding of how the football business works.

“He brings with him a talented coach in Michael, who has a track history of playing a key part in the development of top-class footballers.”
