Cardiff City's under-18s manager Steve Jenkins has left and has been appointed Manager of Cymru Premier side Barry Town United.
Gavin Chesterfield left Barry to take up his job as Cardiff's academy manager, with Lee Kendall taking over the role from him. However, it was announced that Kendall would leave his post and Jenkins has been announced as Barry's new boss, vacating his position with the Bluebirds as a result.
"Barry Town United are delighted to announce Steve Jenkins as our new first team manager," they wrote on social media. "Jenkins met the squad on Thursday and was in the stands observing today's game (a 2-1 loss to Aberystwyth).
"He will take charge of his first training session on Tuesday evening ahead of our JD Cymru Premier opener away to Bala Town on Saturday."
Cardiff are already advertising for a new under-18s boss.
