Thornton leaves Donny by mutual consent

Doncaster have parted company with head coach Gary Thornton by mutual consent.

Donny’s 28-28 with London Skolars was Thornton’s final game in charge and he leaves the club in seventh place in League 1.

“I’d like to thank Gary for his efforts, despite results not always going our way he has been a great professional and worked his socks off for us,” said Doncaster CEO Carl Hall.

“Everyone at the club wishes Gary well for the future. Our season aims and objectives remain exactly the same.”

Pete Green, Rhys Lovegrove, Andrew Vincent and Pete Bell will continue to take charge of first-team affairs while the club looks for a replacement.
