For the first time in it's history, the club now has full-time administration staff, with General Manager Mary Croasdale and Commercial Manager Donna Middleton working from the Destinology offices in nearby Lostock that are owned by chairman Dominic Speakman.

Also on board on a full-time basis is club stalwart James Standing, moving on from his previous role as kit man to become the club's new Team Performance Co-Ordinator, working alongside manager Steve Bleasdale (pictured) in helping to deliver training sessions, whilst also assisting in club administration and being relied upon to look after the club's players on a daily basis.

Bleasdale will also have a new assistant manager for the new season in the shape of former Southport man Brett Harris, with Terry O'Brien, Bleasdale's assistant last season, becoming the club's new Physio, Strength and Conditioning Coach as the club improve their training regime in order to aid the development of each player in the best possible conditions.

Leaving the club is secretary Alan Robinson who, after several years of endeavour and hard work, is to leave his role, allowing Alan Greenhalgh, formerly of the Lancashire FA, to become the club's new secretary.

Also leaving Leigh RMI with the club's best wishes for the future is popular physio Stuart Cameron, who has served the club for the past two seasons after originally arriving under previous manager Stuart Humphreys.
