Summarised from Cumberland News's report · Updated 5 Nov, 22:21 · Archive

Penrith AFC has confirmed Danny Grainger and Richard Prokas will remain in charge for the rest of the season.

Penrith AFC have confirmed that Danny Grainger and Richard Prokas will remain as joint managers for the rest of the 2026/27 season. The pair took over on an interim basis in September after manager Jim Nichols and assistant Alan Inglis departed. The club said they were delighted the duo had agreed to continue in the role.

The former Carlisle United and Workington Reds players have overseen three wins and three defeats in six games so far. Grainger said the managers wanted to give the club breathing space during what had been a difficult period following the death of chairman Brian 'Billy' Williams at the start of the campaign. Penrith currently sit 20th in the table ahead of Saturday's home match with Yarm & Eaglescliffe.
