Glasshoughton Welfare manager Graham Hodder has left the Baris NCEL Premier Division club following a run of defeats and poor form.

Hodder, who joined the Leeds Road side in June after stepping down at Selby Town at the end of last season, tendered his resignation with immediate effect following yesterday's 3-0 loss at Pickering Town, a defeat that made it seven games without a victory.

A statement from the club reads: "Glasshoughton Welfare would wish to place on record their appreciation for all of Graham's efforts in what was always going to be a difficult season and have wished him well.

"The search for his replacement begins in earnest and anyone having an interest in the position is advised to initially contact Club Chairman Phil Riding on philriding@hotmail.com stating experience, location and, if at all possible, to include a CV by 5pm on Thursday 29th November, 2012."
