Dan Sleet has mutually agreed with Meliden Football Club to step down as its first team manager.

Sleet took over as boss on October 20, 2024, and was in charge of The Miners for 24 games in all competitions, winning nine and drawing three.

In his 22 league outings in charge, Meliden claimed nine victories.

The Denbighshire side had lost all five league and cup matches played this season, culminating in a 6-1 home defeat against Llandudno Amateurs at the weekend.

Sleet took over from Warren Adam last October and despite losing his first match at home to Llansannan, Meliden went on to win their next three. The Miners ended last season with three victories in a row to clinch eighth place in the North Wales Coast East Premier Division.

David “Deej” Hobson has also agreed to leave the club as coach.

Meliden FC said in a statement: “Meliden Football Club would like to place on record it’s thanks to both Dan and Deej for their contribution over the last few seasons.

“Luke Astley will return to the dugout in a caretaker role this Saturday whilst we source a new management team.”
