Lakeland moves to The Shay after leaving his position at National League North side King's Lynn Town, where he guided the club to a play-off finish last season.

Last month, it was announced Chris Millington had stepped down as boss of the Shaymen after they were beaten by Oldham in the National League play-off semi-finals.

Lakeland started his managerial career as head coach of Blackburn Women before becoming first-team coach at Curzon Ashton, helping the club achieve back-to-back promotions to National League North.

After a stint as head coach of Northwich Victoria, Lakeland moved to Farsley Celtic and guided them to promotion to National League North in 2019.

In 2021, he returned to manage Curzon Ashton before moving to King's Lynn two years later.]]>
