Dave Kelly is back at Chichester, and will be assistant boss to Adie Girdler from the start of this season. Kelly is a former City player of legendary proportions.

He made his first-team debut in 1986/87, going on to make some 500 appearances and score alost 150 goals. At the start of 2000/2001 he took over as manager of the reserves, winning the Reserve Section West title in the process, before defecting to Midhurst at the start of 2006/2007 where he was first-team boss.

After two seasons at the Rotherfield, Kelly is now back at his old stomping ground, while his long-term lieutenant Malcolm Harwood has been left in charge of Midhurst.
