Head of Academy Craig Mulholland said: “To see a top pro want to develop his coaching skills in this way, and be prepared to do the apprenticeship in coaching in the same way as he did as a player and be the best he can be, is what attracted us to Kevin.

“His enthusiasm for football is infectious and his desire to develop talent shines through. He has a magnificent passion for the game which will rub off on our players.
