Academy coach Steve Foley has turned down the job of assistant manager to his one-time Town colleague Chris Kiwomya at League One Notts County.

Foley rejoined Bryan Klug’s youth set-up last summer having previously been Town’s first-team coach under Jim Magilton, during which time former striker Kiwomya was also on the Blues’ staff.

The 59-year-old, who also coaches at Ryman League side Needham Market, had been offered a three-year deal at Meadow Lane.

Marcus added 01:52 - Jun 13 I don't think it's about money. I suspect it's more that he's settled in the area and happy at Town so has no reason to move on. He's always come across as being very level headed and I imagine he's planned for his retirement in about a decade and doesn't want to move around the country in that time.
