Chris Kiwomya has been named Notts County's permanent manager on a three-year contract.

The 43-year-old was handed the job on a interim basis back in February when Keith Curle was relieved of his duties.

It was stated by the club at the time that Kiwomya would remain in charge until the end of the ongoing season, but it has now been decided that he would take on the role on permanent basis.

"Chris has showed in the short time that he has been in charge of the first team that he has a great passion for the game, is tireless in his endeavours, communicates extremely well with the noard, sharing our vision, and anyone who has been fortunate enough to speak to him in person will have seen his enthusiasm for every detail of every performance," chairman Ray Trew told the club's official website.

"When making this appointment we were looking for someone who could realise our long-term vision for the club, someone that we could work with to bring progressive success alongside the development of young, homegrown talent from our successful youth setup.

"Chris is well respected throughout the football community for his ability to develop players, as well as spotting raw talent in youngsters, something that we are confident will help foster stronger working relationships with clubs, particularly at a higher level."

County are currently 11th in the League One standings.
