“I’ve had quite a few really good chats with Angelo. He seems like a really, really great guy and I’m looking forward to helping him and the club achieve the goals for next season.
“I’m looking forward to the full-time set-up. I’ve worked in full-time football before but it’s something I’ve always wanted to get back into. Having the opportunity to do that with a club like Chelmsford is something I’m really keen to do.”
Angelo Harrop said: “I’m over the moon to get Arron on board.
“I’ve heard so many positive comments regarding his work over the last few seasons at the football club.
