The Belfast Telegraph reports that Boro manager Kelly, Diarmuid O’Carroll, previously a player with Cliftonville and Crusaders, ex-Cliftonville and Sligo boss Gerard Lyttle and ex-Lincoln and Doncaster midfielder John Schofield are among the contenders for the position which would cover both the Under-17s and Under-19s age groups.

The position became vacant when ex-Celtic coach Stephen Frail left to become assistant manager of Dundee United last July.
