Player-boss Jamie Coyle left the role, before taking over as joint manager of Kent rivals Dartford.

“We are delighted to announce that Steve King has taken the position of manager at the club on a two-year contract,” read a club statement.

“King has a wealth of experience at Non-League level listing Whitehawk, Macclesfield, Lewes and Farnborough amongst his former clubs.

“King’s CV also includes various play off campaigns and cup success, notably taking Macclesfield town to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup in 2013, for the first time in the club’s history. Steve will be announcing his backroom team in due course.”
