Sam Kelly (footballer)
[5] He had a trial at Rangers in September 2013, but manager Ally McCoist was unable to offer him a contract due to financial restrictions.[8] After five further appearances he went three months without playing a game as Enoch Andoh, Sam Foley and Colin Daniel were preferred on the left-wing, before marking his return to the first-team with a goal and an assist in a 3–2 win over Chesterfield at Vale Park on 21 November.[13] Kelly fell out of the first-team picture under new manager Bruno Ribeiro and had to wait until the end of October for his first league start of the 2016–17 season.[17] He made 12 appearances throughout the 2017–18 campaign, of which only one came after Michael Jolley replaced Russell Slade as manager, as the "Mariners" posted an 18th-place finish.[24][25] He struggled for form at the start of the 2019–20 season, before improving enough to provide the assists for both of Town's goals in a 2–1 victory at Southport on 16 November.
