The club can formally announce the departure of Farsley Celtic legends Gareth Liversidge, Tom Morgan and Jake Lofthouse
The backroom staff trio have officially moved on and everyone at the club thanks them for their unwavering commitment, effort and dedication to Farsley Celtic.
Manager Pav Singh has formally paid tribute to the trio as well, saying the following for Gareth: “As Gareth Liversidge steps away from his role after 18 incredible years at Farsley Celtic AFC, it’s hard to find the right words to express just how much he has meant to me, the players, the managers, and the supporters. From day one, Gareth’s support, guidance, and dedication have been a constant source of strength for me and for the club as a whole. His departure marks the end of an era, and I can say without hesitation that the last two seasons alone can’t even begin to compare to the immense impact he has had over the years.
Gareth’s professionalism, expertise, and work ethic have been beyond measure. His attention to detail in his role as a physio is unparalleled, but it’s his heart and commitment to the well-being of every person at the club—players, staff, and supporters alike—that truly sets him apart. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how much he has done for everyone, always going above and beyond to ensure that the players not only recover physically but feel valued and supported throughout their journey.
He’s been a source of calm in the midst of chaos, offering not just his technical expertise but also his unwavering encouragement. Gareth was never just about getting players back on the field—he was about making sure they were at their best, physically and mentally. The way he built relationships with the players, with managers, and with everyone around the club is a testament to the quality of person he is.
The last two seasons may have brought their own challenges, but nothing in that time could ever compare to the breadth of what Gareth has done for the club over his nearly two decades here. His legacy is far bigger than any individual moment or season—it’s woven into the very fabric of Farsley Celtic AFC, and his contributions will be felt for years to come.
On behalf of the entire Farsley family, I want to personally thank Gareth for his exceptional dedication and support. You’ve left an indelible mark on this club, and it’s been an honor to work alongside you. We will all miss you, but we wish you nothing but the best as you move on to new adventures. Thank you for everything, Gareth. Your legacy here will never be forgotten.”
Paying tribute to Tom Morgan and Jake Lofthouse, Pav said: “Tom, Jake, I just wanted to take a moment to express the soft spot I have for both of you. You’ve been such an important part of my journey here at Farsley Celtic AFC, and I truly appreciate everything you’ve brought to the club, both on and off the pitch. The love and respect I have for you both is something I can’t put into words, but I want to make sure you know just how much I value our relationship.
Tom, from the first moment I saw you play, I knew you were someone who had a deep passion for the game. Your energy, your determination, and your incredible heart have always stood out, and I’ve watched you grow into the coach and person you are today. Your courage off the field has been inspiring, and I’m so proud of everything you’ve been trying to achieve. Always keep that drive and love for the game, because it’s something rare, and it’s one of the things that makes you so special.
Jake, you’ve shown a level of resilience and bravery that’s hard to match. The passion you bring to every challenge, every training session,and every match has been a true asset to the goalkeepers and the team. Your courage and your willingness to push yourself no matter the obstacles are qualities that have always stood out to me. I’ve always been so impressed by your commitment and your heart, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to watch you grow, both as a coach and as a person.
Please know that I’ll always be here for you both, no matter where life takes us. You’ve both given so much to Farsley Celtic AFC, and I’ll always have your backs. The love and gratitude I feel for you two are immense, and I look forward to watching you continue to excel in whatever comes next.
Thank you for your passion, your courage, and for always being true to yourselves. Farsley Celtic AFC is lucky to have had you both, and so am I. Always here for you much love, always.”
