Dundela FC on hunt for new manager following Paul Harbinson departure

Dundela are on the hunt for a new manager following the departure of Paul Harbinson.

Harbinson has stepped down from the Wilgar Park post "due to a change in personal circumstances".

The Duns finished fourth in the Championship this season after Harbinson arrived in November following Niall Currie's move to Portadown.

The East Belfast club said in a statement: "Dundela FC can tonight confirm that due to a change in personal circumstances, Manager Paul Harbinson and his backroom team have tonight left the club.

"Paul came to the club at a difficult time, a time which saw 11 players leave the first team squad, yet he still managed to steer the club to a fourth place finish. This must be recognised and applauded."

Harbinson said: "I’d like to place on record my thanks to Dundela FC for the opportunity to manage the club this season. This was not a decision taken lightly, largely due to the positive relationships forged during the year.

"I wish the club every success for the future and will remain an ardent fan."

The Duns added: "All at Dundela FC thank Paul and his staff for the job carried out, and place on record the magnificent job carried out to finish fourth in the Championship under such difficult circumstances.

"Good luck for the future Paul, you and your family will always be welcome at Wilgar Park."
