Bromley Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Steve Lovell as Assistant Manager.

First Team Manager Neil Smith made the appointment on Friday and added, “It is fantastic news to have Steve Lovell join the coaching staff, his experience will be invaluable this season. I have known Steve for over twenty years as both player and a coach. I cannot wait to start working with him ahead of pre season.”

Lovell joins the club from League One side Gillingham where he spent the last three seasons including the position of caretaker manager along side Andy Hessenthaler when Peter Taylor was sacked in 2014.

Steve began his playing career at Crystal Palace in the late seventies and earned over seventy appearances for The Eagles. Following his departure in 1983 he went on to enjoy lengthily spells at both Millwall and Gillingham while also achieving six international caps for Wales between 1981 and 1986.

Everyone at Bromley Football Club would like to wish Steve a warm welcome to Hayes Lane.

Mark Hammond remains a part of the first team coaching staff in addition to his new role as Academy Director.
