Ramsbottom United are delighted to be able to announce that Rob Henry will take over as our new manager following Steve Wilkes’ retirement at the end of last season.

Rob, 38, holds a UEFA A license and joined the club last summer having previously worked as assistant manager at Lancaster City, FC United of Manchester and Bootle.

That was all after a 450+ game playing career in non-league for the likes of Lancaster City, Chorley, Bamber Bridge and Kendal Town, as well as a handful of appearances in Rammy blue back in 2018.

With the club just missing out in the play-offs again last season, keeping some continuity after Steve stepping down was imperative as we look to hopefully go one better next season and a return to the NPL.

“I’m delighted to be appointed as the new manager of Ramsbottom United F.C. following what has been a whirlwind few days,” said Rob.

“I’m excited for the challenge ahead and to build on the momentum and foundations built last season. There is a real togetherness around the club, which has been evident over the past few days, and I’m looking forward to working closely with the players, staff, supporters and volunteers to continue driving standards forward and helping the team keep progressing.

“My aim is to create an environment where everyone is aligned and working collaboratively towards the same goal – bringing continued success and pride to the football club.”

We’re delighted to have you leading the Rams, Rob, and wish you every success in the seasons ahead.
