Former Halifax Town Manger Chris Millington takes charge of Solihull Moors

Solihull Moors have unveiled former FC Halifax Town boss Chris Millington as their new manager.

Moors, who axed Matt Taylor at the start of September, have appointed Millington alongside his assistant Andy Cooper. Interim boss James Quinn will remain part of the coaching staff.

The 50-year-old enjoyed an impressive record in charge of the Shaymen, including leading them to FA Trophy glory at Wembley in 2023.

He also built a reputation for developing players, with a number moving on into the Football League.

“Meeting Darryl (Eales – chairman) and a number of the staff gives me great enthusiasm for the job.
