Keller
joined the Alfredians` management team in May 2020 as head coach.
The
34-year-old started his playing days with Wantage and spent three years with
the club.
He
also had spells with Banbury United, Didcot Town, Shrivenham, Carterton,
Pontadawe and Southam United.
Keller
told the club`s website: "I`m buzzing to become the new assistant manager
at Wantage Town. I had a great first season as head coach, albeit cut short due
to Covid 19. I`m really happy to have the opportunity to step up as assistant
working with Matt Biddle, help push this good squad that we have put together
and no reason why we can`t challenge for top half of the table.
“From
the vibe we are getting from the lads, they are all buzzing to get back at it
as well and have the good craic on the training ground, socials and match days.
“There
is lots going on at the club with improvements in place that will the ground
look really good. Really looking forward to seeing the fans back at the ground
and showing their support for the team next season."
Manager
Matt Biddle added: "This time last year JK was just starting his journey
within his Wantage management career. I think it`s been clear to see from all
areas at the club and the squad that he has already shown he was the obvious
and natural choice to step into this role.
“I
have been extremely impressed with JK's contribution to all things at the club
this season and has surpassed my expectations on the impact he has already made
in just a space of a year. He fits in perfectly to what we are trying to build
at the club. He shares the same passion, ideas and commitment that will drive
us to further future success. I`m really excited to now be working with him as
my right-hand man on all things at the club as we continue to move the club in
the right direction". |
