Gills return for Onuora
19 Jun 2007 - 12:44:24
Former Gillingham striker Iffy Onuora has returned to the club as first-team coach.
The 39-year-old partnered Ronnie Jepson in attack at Huddersfield Town in the mid-1990s and will again link up with the now Gills boss at the Priestfield next season.
Onuora spent two spells as a player at Gillingham and remains the last player to score a hat-trick for the Kent club.
He was originally signed by Tony Pulis in a £25,000 transfer from Mansfield Town in August 1996, before returning in January 2000 during Peter Taylor's spell at the helm.
Onuora, who was caretaker-manager at former club Swindon Town two seasons ago, made 170 appearances and scored 55 goals for the Gills.
