Bishop Auckland FC have announced that manager, Leon Carling and his management team will lead the club throughout the 2025-26 season.
Chairman Steve Coulthard said: “On behalf of the directors, I am very pleased that Leon and his coaching staff will be at the club for the rest of the season, next season and the forthcoming future.
“This will give the club stability and help Leon to plan for next season, learning from the lessons of this very different league we are in.
“The club are very ambitious. We want to get into the play-offs next season and want to give Leon and his coaching staff as much support as possible.
