Wright Quits Steelmen

Manager departs after less than three months.

On the day that the FA announced that football could begin again in earnest, Southern League Division One Central club Corby Town were dealt a massive blow with the resignation of manager Tommy Wright.

Wright had only agreed to return to manage the Steelmen in May but has resigned due to work and family commitments.

The former Brentford, Blackpool, Barnsley, Walsall and Aberdeen striker helped Darlington lift the FA Trophy in 2011 and moved into management at Corby as joint-manager alongside Andrew Wilson in September 2013.

He took sole charge for at the back end of the 2013/14 season before leading Corby to a memorable Southern Premier Division title success in his first full campaign at the helm.

However, their stay in the Vanarama National League North lasted just one season as Corby were relegated and Wright left the club 12 games into the following campaign.

Since then, he has had spells at the likes of Nuneaton Borough, Darlington and Stratford Town, who he joined in June 2019 and left the following October.

Corby are now inviting applications for the position of first-team manager.

The successful applicant will be available to take up the position quickly and have the ability to lead, motivate and develop players.

All interested parties are requested to send their CV with covering letter to the club chairman Stevie Noble, steven.noble01@btinternet.com.

The deadline for applications is Friday 24th July 2020.
