Two of Doncaster's non-league clubs have both made managerial announcements.

Rossington Main, the city's highest ranked non-league club, have made Greg Young permanent manager after a successful spell in interim charge. Meanwhile, Armthorpe Welfare have re-appointed James Baxendale.

Rossington Main chairman Daniel Linstrum said: "Dave Burley, director of football, and I have spent some valuable time with Greg over the past few weeks, and he quickly convinced us that he has exactly the right attributes to be a great Rossington Main manager—a man who can inspire our current squad of players and our fanbase. Greg will also be given the club’s full support to strengthen the squad in any areas he feels are necessary to improve our competitiveness on the pitch.”
