Former Town keeper Kelvin Davis has been appointed the first-team manager of Vanarama National League Eastleigh.

Davis will be in his first job as a boss, aside from a spell as caretaker-manager at Southampton, where he had been working as a first-team coach, in 2018.

The 47-year-old was with the Blues between 2003 and 2005, making 93 starts before moving on to Mick McCarthy’s Sunderland, who had pipped Town to automatic promotion, that summer for for £1.25 million.

Davis will be assisted by former Grimsby defender Danny Butterfield, another former member of the Saints backroom staff, with Jason Bristow and Vince Bartram remaining with the Hampshire club.
