NFC Kesh have moved quickly to replace recently departed manager Scott Robinson by appointing Ryan Campbell as player-manager.

Robinson and Kesh parted ways last Thursday with the club stating that they “parted company by mutual consent”.

Chairman Nicky Noble stepped in to the post as caretaker manager for Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Enniskillen Town before the club announced the appointment of experienced striker Campbell as their new boss.

‘’We decided initially not to rush in to anything and that I would take control until the break for the Junior Cup,” said Noble.

“However on Saturday evening I spoke with Ryan about the role and as it turns out found that management is something he’s very keen on getting involved in and he sees this as a top class opportunity.

“We’ve had a great talk with Ryan and we’re very excited with his plans.

“He’s hugely liked and respected in the local game, keen to build on the foundations laid by Scotty, continue to bring through young local players and as always the number one thing for everyone to enjoy it.”

Nigel Beatty will be part of Campbell’s management team having been appointed as assistant manager.
