MILLINGTON QUITS AMID TOWN RESET
The Non-League Football Paper
|June 01, 2025
CHRIS Millington admits the 'time is right' for a change of management at FC Halifax Town - as the club prepares for another major summer re-shuffle.
The 49-year-old boss stood down as Shaymen boss on Tuesday following their heavy National League Play-Off Eliminator defeat to Oldham Athletic.
In the space of just over a week, however, Town have lost defenders Ryan Galvin and Adam Senior to National League champions Barnet and star midfielder Jack Evans to Harrogate Town, ensuring the club must now oversee an extensive overhaul of players for a third successive summer.
In three seasons and 155 games as manager, Millington led the club to two play-off finishes and an FA Trophy success at Wembley in 2023.
A healthy sixth-place finish in this year’s campaign exceeded expectations at The Shay, but they had to cling on to their place in the play-off positions after a disappointing end-of-season run of just two wins from their final ten matches, suffering defeats to strugglers Dagenham & Redbridge, Maidenhead and Wealdstone along the way.
