Morpeth Town can confirm that manager Stephen Turnbull has stepped down from his position with immediate effect.

Following today’s 2-1 defeat at home to Witton Albion, Turnbull offered his resignation to the Chairman, Ken Beattie, and CEO, Mark Hedley.

We would like to thank Stephen for all the hard work he has put in as a player and manager during his time at the club and wish him well for the future.

“I’ve got the greatest respect and regard for Stephen and he has been extremely unlucky with a number of factors including Covid-related disruption,” said Beattie.

“He has been a tremendous player and ambassador for Morpeth Town. He has high standards and will continue to do well going forward.”

We look forward to welcoming him back to Craik Park in the near future with a warm welcome.
