Sean Eardley: Caernarfon boss departs for Llandudno

Sean Eardley has left his role at Caernarfon Town to take over Llandudno. 

The popular Cofis boss returns to Llandudno to succeed Matthew Jones who left his role in May.

Eardley led Caernarfon to a Cymru Alliance title in 2018 after taking over from Iwan Williams. 

“It comes with great sadness that I’m stepping away from my role at Caernarfon Town,” revealed Eardley.

“It has been a stressful and emotional couple of days, I have spoken to lots of people to try and aid me with a decision but realise ultimately it would come down to me and doing what’s right for me and my family at this time.

“An opportunity has arisen to manage my hometown club and I feel the day to day stresses of top fight Welsh domestic football would again eventually become a little too much.

“Some may argue that the stresses may continue, but I’ve continued my own personal life when reaching a decision and concentrated a little less on the football aspect.

“Caernarfon Town, none more so than the board, gave me my first opportunity in management, and for that, I will be forever indebted.”

As Eardley returns to Maesdu Park, Cofis chairman Paul Evans said: “It’s a sad day for us in many ways but we fully respect Sean’s decision.

“He has been excellent and we thank him for everything he has helped us achieve. However, the club moves on and Huw has already made his mark with us during his short time at The Oval.

“We are very confident that the club can push on again now and continue to make our mark in the Cymru Premier League and hopefully achieve our European dreams next season.”
