The supporters club would like to thank Lee Sinnott for all his efforts with Farsley Celtic over the last few years and we wish him all the best in his new job at Port Vale.
We have come such a long way in the last few years and he brought ambition to the club and helped the players move forward from the Unibond to the Conference. 3 promotions in four years plus success in the FA cup and West Riding cup.
Lee Sinnott (born July 12, 1965 in Aldridge, Walsall, England) is an English ex-professional footballer and is currently the manager of Port Vale. He has achieved enormous success with Farsley Celtic, most notably winning promotion three times in four seasons.
He began his career at Walsall as an apprentice, before joining Watford in 1983. At the end of his first season he played in the FA Cup Final against Everton at Wembley Stadium, collecting a runners-up medal.
In 1987, Sinnott moved down a division to Bradford City and in his first season he helped the Banthams qualify for the Second Division playoffs, but their promotion bid failed and two years later they were relegated. Sinnott spent one season in the Third Division before moving to First Division Crystal Palace. He was unable to establish a regular place in the first team and after two years he returned to Bradford.
When Sinnott returned to Valley Parade over the summer of 1993, Bradford were still in the third tier of the English league (now Division Two following the creation of the Premier League in 1992); he played in most of their first-team games that season. But the Bantams missed out on the playoffs and manager Frank Stapleton was sacked, with Sinnott following his manager out of the exit door and signing for local rivals Huddersfield Town. He was made captain of Neil Warnock's team, and guided them to Division Two playoff victory in his first season. He spent two more seasons in West Yorkshire before crossing the Pennines and signing for Oldham Athletic, who had just been relegated to Division Two.
Sinnott played 31 games over two seasons at Boundary Park, but Oldham struggled in a division that they had been expected to win promotion from, and in Sinnott's second season they narrowly avoided relegation to Division Three. A year earlier, he had been loaned back to Bradford, but the move was not made permanent.
1998-99 proved to be Lee Sinnott's final season as a Football League player. He moved to Scarborough, who had just been relegated to the Nationwide Conference, and played 22 games in one season for a side who finished fourth in the country's highest non-league division. He then retired from playing after a career spanning almost 20 years.
Sinnott was not out of football for long, moving into management with non-league Farsley Celtic. His first success with the club was a third-place finish in the Northern Premier League Division One in 2004 which earned the club promotion to the Northern Premier League. Another promotion was achieved two years later, and in 2007 a third promotion in four seasons was achieved when Farsley finished top of the Conference North and won promotion to the Conference National.
Now aged 42, Lee Sinnott is showing huge promise as a manager. Farsley's three promotions under Sinnott and the declines of Bradford City and Leeds United mean that just one and two divisions separate the club from its neighbours, when seven years ago six divisions separated them.
His brother is the actor, writer and director Richard Sinnott.
