We are delighted to confirm the appointment of John McGrath as our new Men’s First Team Manager.
John was the outstanding candidate for the role, having impressed with his drive and vision following a successful eight year spell as manager at Derbyshire neighbours Mickleover, where he made a significant contribution across all areas of the club, culminating in a playoff position in the Southern League Premier in the most recent campaign.
McGrath is a former Republic of Ireland U21 midfielder, who enjoyed a distinguished playing career which started in his homeland before he joined Aston Villa at 18, and led to him playing over 200 games for Burton Albion, whom he captained during their successful rise up the pyramid.
We would like to wish John and his family a warm welcome to Buxton FC.
