Pikes job for ex-Boro chief Funk

Pickering Town Football Club have confirmed former Scarborough Athletic boss Rudy Funk as their new first-team manager.

The Pikes parted company with their previous manager – and former Scarborough Athletic coach – Steve Roberts earlier this month, with Town coaches Tony Hackworth and Ged Dalton, both former Scarborough FC players, taking charge of first-team duties in the interim.

Funk has achieved seven promotions during his managerial career. one at Teversal, three at Rainworth, one at Boro and two at AFC Mansfield.

He took Rainworth, AFC Mansfield and Boro to the Northern Premier League, so will be hoping to carry on his fine record at Pikes.
