James Morgan: From bagging braces to balancing books, Andy Barrowman on new role at ambitious Kelty Hearts ANDY Barrowman is talking enthusiastically about the future. He has been waiting for this moment almost from the day he stopped kicking a ball some six years ago. Not for him the tracksuit and trainers or cones and clipboards of the coaching world. Instead Barrowman – an itinerant striker who played for 14 professional clubs – has long harboured ambitions of carving a career for himself on the business side of football. It s an area in which he has already made his mark: Hibernian, St Mirren and Ross County have all announced new kit sponsorship agreements in recent weeks with Joma Sport, deals that Barrowman helped to negotiate in his role as senior brand manager for the Spanish sportswear company.

KELTY Hearts have announced Kevin Thomson as their new manager, days after Barry Ferguson left the newly-promoted side. The Central Fife outfit won promotion on Sunday afternoon with a 3-1 aggregate win against Brechin City, only for Barry Ferguson to announce that he was leaving. Ferguson has now been unveiled as the Alloa Athletic manager, and Kelty have left little time to announce the former Rangers and Hibs midfielder as his successor. It is his first senior management role having been an academy coach at the Ibrox side for the past few years. Speaking to Kelty Hearts official website, Thomson said: “This is the perfect fit for me at the correct stage in my management and coaching career, it’s a club that I know well and I am sure we can achieve success together in the years ahead.
