Former Premier League keeper Paddy Kenny and Nathan Helliwell have been announced as the new joint managers of Toolstation NCEL Premier Division side Goole AFC.

The pair take over from Mike Carmody who departed as Vikings boss after last week's 8-0 home loss to Frickley Athletic left them in seventeenth position in the table.

A statement released by the club on Tuesday afternoon said: "Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who applied for the position of first team manager.

"Due to the high number of applicants, the club committee met over the weekend to evaluate each application and put together a shortlist for interviews.

"Following a long day of interviews throughout Monday, we are now in a position to announce Paddy Kenny and Nathan Helliwell as our new joint management team.

"Paddy and Nathan will be announcing their backroom team in due course."
