Mossley AFC are likely to announce who will replace him on Friday but current assistant Alex Craddock will be one of the leading contenders for the Seel Park hotseat.

Fish has seen several players produced at Seel Park, the latest being midfielder Bailey Marsden, who has signed for National League North side Kings Lynn Town for an undisclosed fee.

This season, signing Obua Mugalula has already established himself as a cult hero on the terraces while Guilherme Baltazar is also a fan favourite.

As Mossley do not have a match on Saturday, March 8, the Lilywhites’ next match will be promotion chasers Congleton Town on Saturday, March 15.

The first home game of Fish’s farewell will be against Wythenshawe on Saturday, March 22.

Fish’s departure is said to be on very good terms, but 2025/26 promises to be a new era at Seel Park.
