Evatt ready for reunion with former team-mate

Scunthorpe United manager Andy Butler had a loan spell with Blackpool

The Iron, who are currently second in the National League table, are managed by former Seasiders defender Andy Butler.

He featured seven times for Blackpool in the second half of their 2009/10 Premier League promotion-winning season, having joined them on loan from Huddersfield Town.

Butler was named as Scunthorpe boss in May 2024, helping them to promotion via the National League North playoffs last season.

A centre-back by trade, Butler had three playing stints with Scunthorpe during a two-decade career which also brought spells with clubs including Walsall and Doncaster Rovers.
