"Well after a short break, we go again!" tweeted Lancashire, who was Graeme Jones' strike partner during Latics' title-winning 1996-97 campaign. "Work already started on next season and can't wait to get started at this great club @WorkingtonAFC"

Workington vice chairman Richard Lewthwaite said: “We have left that up to Mark to bring in who he wants on the bench as assistants, and it will be part of his overall budget.

"I think he will also be speaking to members of the current back-room staff.”

Lancashire also played for Burnley, Halifax (loan), Chester (loan), Preston, Rochdale and Hednesford during his career.
