Bridlington Town Announce Return Of Mike Thompson As First Team Manager

Sunday, 5 January 2025 21:13

By Paddy

The appointment comes just hours after the announcement of Denny Ingram's resignation as first-team boss.

In a statement this evening, the Chairman Dan Rogers said:

“Mike needs no introduction having previously managed the Seasiders between 2022 and 2023 and we welcome his return to Queensgate stadium. Mike brings with him an impressive track record both playing with over 200 appearances for Bridlington and holding a coveted 8th position while in charge. Mike will be appointing additional coaching staff to assist him and they will be announced at a later date. I trust everyone involved at the club will give Mike their full support.

Gavin Branton, CEO, added:

“I have known Thomo for many years when he first came to Bridlington Town as a young player. He has always impressed with his passion and never say die attitude, which he carries forward into his management style. I enjoyed working with Mike during his last managerial time with us and I very much look forward to his return. He is a forward thinking young coach who will use and analyse every possible tool at his disposal to improve the squad. This is an exciting time for the club as we look to move forward and this appointment is crucial to our plans. Mike will bring passion – motivational and tactical skills to this role and I look forward to helping and working with him and his backroom team to bring the success Bridlington Town and our loyal supporters deserve and desire.”
