Ramsgate FC has announced the departure of manager Steve Lovell.

Ramsgate FC appointed the former Gillingham Football Club manager in April last year.

He came into the club following the resignation of Matt Longhurst.

The former Wales International has an impressive CV both on the field and as a manager, having played for Crystal Palace, Millwall, Swansea and Bournemouth, Lovell has enjoyed managerial posts at Welling United, Ashford and Sittingbourne as well as two stints at Gillingham.

Rams are currently second place in Isthmian South East and have made several new signings, including forward player Gil Carvalho from Ashford who returns to The Rams after a spell at the club in 2019 and striker Rowan Liburd.

Rams striker Josh Ajayi has left the club to join Dover.

In a short statement on social media Rams FC said: “The club can confirm that we have parted company with manager Steve Lovell.

“We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Steve and his assistant Mark for their hard work during their time with us.”
