Todd to take over at Darlington

20 May 2009 16:49
The former England defender left Bradford in February 2007 and has recently been coaching Danish side Randers FC. His move to Darlington coincides with the announcement that the Quakers are to come out of administration this summer after former chairman George Houghton put together a rescue packed to save the cash-strapped club. "Colin comes with a superb track record and aptitude for spotting talent," said Houghton. "He is a great asset to the club with experience and willingness to take on the challenge. We are all looking forward to rebuilding the side and the public confidence in the club. "The past few months have been a terrible time but it has clearly demonstrated the passion of the fans and the community for the club. I am convinced we can move forward into a bright and exciting future. But we need to be realistic with much tighter controls of budgets and management of costs." Todd will work alongside current youth team coaches Craig Liddle and Neil Maddison at the Darlington Arena and is also poised to make further coaching appointments, with Hull striker Dean Windass heavily linked with becoming his assistant.
