Neil Gibson named as manager of Flint Town United

Flint Town United have appointed Neil Gibson as their new manager.

The Silkmen have moved swiftly to appoint a successor to Niall McGuinness, after parting company with him yesterday.

Former Prestatyn boss Gibson met with club officials before agreeing terms.

Commenting on his appointment, the 41-year-old said: “I’m delighted to become the manager of Flint Town Football Club. 

“After speaking with the Board, I was very impressed with the vision they have for the football club moving forward, which, in turn, made my decision an easy one to make.

Gibson added: “I feel that this vision is a good fit with my own philosophy and principles, and together we shall be able to move the club in an exciting direction.

Flint have waited a long time to be back into the Welsh Premier and the priority is to ensure we retain our status. 

“This will then give us a platform upon which to build. enabling continued development both on and off the pitch, and establishing ourselves as a Cymru Premier club for many years to come.”
