Ilkeston Town Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Ian Deakin as our new First-Team Manager.
Ian, alongside Craig Swinscoe, Adam Campbell and Ben Hutchinson will take charge of the Robins training sessions mid-week, taking charge of their first match this Saturday at the Microlise New Manor Ground as we host Worksop Town in the Northern Premier League.
Ian Deakin and Craig Swinscoe will be no strangers to the Robins supporters, both having played and coached previously at the Microlise New Manor Ground. Swinscoe and Deakin were part of the coaching team that took us to back-to-back promotions in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 campaigns.

Former Middlesbrough and Celtic striker Ben Hutchinson and Mansfield Town Academy graduate Adam Campbell join Deakin’s as first team coaches.
Whilst speaking with the media team earlier this evening Deakin said “It’s good to be back, I’ve got very fond memories here and hopefully we can get the place rocking again. As a team we are really looking forward to getting started and bringing good times back to the football club.”
