Donnelly
takes over from Luke Gregson, who stepped down earlier this month citing family
and work commitments.
Donnelly
retired from playing in July 2020 having re-joined Hitchin Town from Southern
League Premier Division Central rivals Biggleswade Town in May 2019 as
player-coach.
He
had been player/assistant-manager with the Waders.
The
striker previously made 198 appearances for the Canaries and scored 52 goals –
one of only 40 players in the history of the club to surpass the 50-goal
landmark – and was
an integral member of the 2015/16 and 2016/17 squads that reached the Southern Premier
Division play-offs.
He
has scored goals wherever he has played, which has included spells with Barton
Rovers, Codicote and a previous stint with Biggleswade. |
