Halifax appoint Little

Alan Little is a former Halifax player

Halifax have unveiled Alan Little as their new manager.

The former Town player takes over from Paul Bracewell, who left The Shay at the end of August.

Former York City manager Little will travel with the squad for Saturday's away game against Plymouth.

Player-coach Neil Redfearn and coach Tony Parks had taken over first-team affairs on a caretaker basis.

But talks over a permanent role for Redfearn broke down and chairman Bob Walker moved to secure Little's services.
