Halifax Town sack Darren Kelly after just 47 days in charge

Halifax Town have announced that manager Darren Kelly has left the club by mutual agreement after just 47 days in the job.

Kelly, who joined the Shaymen on October 1, won just two of his 10 games in all competitions, with 37 goals being conceded during that time.

A club statement read: "Following a disappointing run of league results, it's been mutuality agreed between the Board and Darren Kelly that he steps down from his position at FC Halifax Town.

"Notwithstanding a back drop of difficult circumstances and a short time period, it's been felt that an up-lift in performance and results has not been forthcoming - despite further first team investment."

Halifax currently sit bottom of the National League table, as many as 10 points from safety.
