“I’m delighted to have Browny on board,” said Kelly.

“I have known Browny a long, long time. I played with him at Garforth Town and he was with me at Hyde United, so I know what he can bring to the table and what value he adds both on and off the field to the club.

“He’s been coaching at Bradford City and I know how good he is in the dressing room.

“I also think he still has a lot to offer us on the field, he is as fit as they come, has a great attitude and scores goals too, so he will provide great competition for our guys in the final third come the start of the season.”
