York City FC is delighted to announce the appointment of Adam Hinshelwood as the club’s new first team manager.
The 40-year-old attack-minded manager joins the Minstermen on a long-term deal following over six-years at Worthing FC.
Hinshelwood’s Worthing side have racked up over 269 league goals since the beginning of the 2021/22 campaign.
A Football League defender by trade during his playing days, Hinshelwood boasts over 100 Brighton & Hove Albion appearances across the Championship and League One.
Spells at Aldershot and Wycombe in the Football League also followed for the central defender during a playing career hit by injury.
In 2013, Hinshelwood was appointed manager of the Rebels before leaving a couple years later to pursue a coaching role at Brighton & Hove Albion.
A return in 2017 has seen an Isthmian Premier Division title and a Sussex Senior Challenge Cup secured since, with Worthing now plying their trade in the National League South.
Hinshelwood’s promotion to the National League South was halted twice during both the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons, with their eventual promotion secured in 2022 after keeping up on their relentless title-winning form to complete a full season.
Hinshelwood also brings two key major staff members with him to the LNER Community Stadium, namely Gary Elphick and Cameron Morrison.
38-year-old Elphick joins the Minstermen from Worthing too as Hinshelwood’s assistant manager.
The former Brighton & Hove Albion defender signed for Worthing back in 2015 to work with Hinshelwood initially, however went on to steer the ship and win promotion from Isthmian League Division One South at the first attempt via the play-offs.
Elphick proceeded to repeat his feat of promotion from Isthmian League Division One South East with Hastings United, winning the title in 2022 before returning to Worthing in the summer of 2023.
Morrison also joins the Minstermen as Hinshelwood’s first team coach from Worthing. Morrison is qualified with a UEFA A license as well as a MSc degree in Performance Analysis and BSc degree in Football Coaching & Performance.
Welcome to the Minstermen: Adam, Gary, and Cameron!
