Darlington FC today announce that fitness and conditioning coach Mark Thistlethwaite has left the club.

Mark has been in the position for six years, and played a key part in the players' fitness, especially for our win in the FA Cup at Swindon and draw at Walsall, and our FA Trophy away win at Weymouth.

Mark said; “It's been an incredible six years with the club. I'd like to thank from the bottom of my heart all the fans and amazing people whom I've met through my time at Darlo. I've had some amazing experiences and memories that'll last a lifetime. Good luck to everybody connected with the club for the future.”

We would like to thank Mark for his service, and wish him all the best for the future.
