Their final game in charge was the 1-0 home defeat to Hartlepool United on Monday.

A club statement read: “Guiseley AFC have today taken the decision to part company with Adam Lockwood and his assistant, Dave Penney, with immediate effect.

“The club wishes to place on record its thanks to Adam and Dave, in particular for their efforts in keeping the club in the National League last season.
