Dave who was at Step 5 last season at Tividale joins us with a proven track record within Non League. Dave is joined by his Assistant Manager - Kieron Bustin who worked alongside Dave at Tividale for 6 years.

Chairman Craig Coburn says “I’m absolutely over the moon to appoint Dave King as our new manager who has a fantastic track record within the game. My role now is to support Dave and the team to provide the tools to do the job. The appointment for me was critical that we get this right and with Dave at the helm I’m absolutely confident we will have a successful time under Dave’s stewardship.”

Dave King added “I’m honoured and delighted to accept the role at Gornal Athletic and also delighted to rekindle my partnership with Kieron. I’m looking forward to meeting the squad very soon."
