Guess who’s back in football management?

One of North East Wales football’s best known figures of the current millennium is back in management.

Simon Sedgwick has been appointed manager of tier 4 North East Wales Football League club Rhostyllen.

Sedgwick, 59, has taken a back seat from management since leaving Brickfield Rangers at the end of 2017/18.

Prior to that, Sedge was best known for his many successful seasons in charge of Buckley Town, but he also had spells at Holywell Town, Mynydd Isa, Rhyl Reserves, Caernarfon Town and Penycae.

As a manager, he has won the former Welsh National League Premier Division and League Cup, plus the NEWFA Challenge Cup on five occasions.

Joining Sedgwick on Rhostyllen’s management set-up will be:
