Kelty Hearts appoint John Potter as new manager

JOHN POTTER has been confirmed as the new manager of Kelty Hearts.

Following strong rumours and talks, the ex-Dunfermline manager and most recently Queens Park coach, has been appointed as the replacement for Kevin Thomson who departed Kelty after winning the League Two title.

The ex-Hibs coach moves from a side newly promoted to the Championship to a side newly promoted to League One, as he aims to push forward with a team in form at New Central Park.

The club confirmed the appointment today with the message: “Kelty Hearts FC are delighted to announce the appointment of our new First Team Manager, John Potter!

“John, who played for Celtic, St Mirren, Clyde and Dunfermline as a player, joins the club with an impressive coaching pedigree.

“The 42-year-old has been assistant manager at clubs such as Hibernian and Sunderland, manager at Dunfermline and most recently, played a massive part at newly promoted, Queens Park.

“John is a young and hungry coach who is determined to bring more success to the football club.

“His values and ambition align with the club and we welcome John to Kelty Hearts!”
