Llanfair United appoint new manager

Lawrence Wilson has been appointed as the new manager of Llanfair United, and will split the role with his current duties as manager of Wem Town Ladies.

Wilson joins the club with a strong management pedigree across the border having been in charge at Wonder Vaults (Wolverhampton), AFC Bentley, New Saints Ladies and most recently at Wem Town and Wem Town Ladies.

“Lawrence will continue his role as Wem Town Ladies manager alongside managing Llanfair,” said a club spokesperson. “He’ll be bringing fresh ideas to the club along with experience gained whilst obtaining his UEFA B Licence.”

He will be assisted by Grant Butler, a former player for TNS, Caersws, Shawbury and Wem.

“I am delighted to become Llanfair United’s new manager, and I’d like to thank Huw and the rest of the committee for putting faith in me for the forthcoming season,” said Wilson.

“It’s a new challenge for me, managing across the border in Wales, but a challenge I relish and really look forward to starting.

“I hope that along with my assistant, Grant, we can help the club progress on and off the field and get back into the Cymru North, that’s the main objective.”
