Harrogate’s Ashville College has appointed a new director of sport.
Paul Stansfield, who previously played for Harrogate Town FC and coached the club’s under 18s, will take up the role at the college.
Mr Stansfield spent six years at St Aidan’s Church of England High School, where he was head of year and head of department, and seven years at the town’s St John Fisher Catholic High School, where he was latterly deputy head.
He said:
“I look forward to working with my team to build on Ashville’s strong sporting reputation and excellent facilities.
“Ultimately, my aim is for every pupil in the school to love sport.
