MIKE KELLY has been given the manager's job at Ramsbottom United on a full-time basis.
Former Rams' keeper Kelly took over after the death of Ken Bridge earlier this season and helped the Rams to finish in third place in the North West Counties League Division One table.
Kelly will be assisted by current Ramsbottom goalkeeper Keith Nield, who has had managerial experience himself at Flixton and Salford City.
The changes see Mike Feeney stepping down after six years on the backroom staff at the Riverside, during which time he managed the reserve team and assisted the late Mr Bridge admirably.
