The 51-year-old began his managerial career at Colwyn Bay in 2010. He has achieved multiple promotions across spells with AFC Fylde and Hartlepool.

Stockport County spell

At Stockport County, Challinor guided the club from the National League to the League Two title within three seasons. He twice took Stockport County to the League One play-offs and has seven promotions to his name.
