Chatham Town management team confirmed ahead of Isthmian League campaign; Kevin Hake to be assisted by Danny Kedwell and Tim Moffatt

Chatham Town chairman Kevin Hake will continue to manage the side next season but has a new assistant.

Experienced striker Danny Kedwell is to work as Hake’s no.2 while Tim Moffatt will take on first team coaching duties.

Hake led Chats to promotion in a dual role as chairman/manager last season, finishing second to Sheppey United in the Southern Counties East Football League.

He took over managerial responsibility after Scott Lindsey left the club shortly before the 2021/22 season was about to start, preferring to lead the side himself with Carl Laraman helping out in a director of football role.

Laraman left the Chats shortly after promotion was secured.

Kedwell joined Chatham as a player last season following a management spell at Cray Wanderers.

Behind the scenes the team have been in talks with new players which will be announced in due course. Chats, meanwhile, recently picked up a Queen’s Award for their voluntary work in the community.
