Danny Kedwell on reuniting with boss Andy Drury at Isthmian Premier Folkestone Invicta on Invicta’s backroom team as he returns to football after Ashford United exit

Roles have reversed as Danny Kedwell reunites with Andy Drury at Folkestone.

The popular former Gillingham and Ebbsfleet striker has promptly got involved in football once more, having departed his role as manager at Isthmian South East side Ashford United last month.

He joins in-form Folkestone’s backroom staff for their Isthmian Premier play-off push.

“I said a few words on Saturday, but it’s a bit of a hard one to come straight in and put your stamp on things.

“But Dukes was my assistant at Cray Wanderers so, going the other way around, he knows what he’s talking about so that’s good.”
