Christopher Cornelly (born 7 July 1976) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
He played in the Football League for Lincoln City between 2002 and 2005, and spent the rest of his career in non-League football with clubs including Ossett Albion, Ashton United, Leigh RMI, Stamford and Radcliffe Borough.
Playing career[edit]
On 12 December 2002, Cornelly joined Lincoln City agreeing a deal until the end of the 2002–03 season,[1][2] making his Football League debut as a 61st-minute substitute for Simon Yeo in the club's 2–2 home draw with Cambridge United two days later.
He initially joined the club on a part-time basis, training once a week and maintaining his job as an installations manager for a CCTV company according to sources.[3] but a successful run in the first team saw him offered a full-time professional contract for the 2003–04 season in April 2003,[4] signing the deal the following month.[5]
His final act for the club was to score the second goal in their 3–2 Lincolnshire Senior Cup final victory over Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park on 2 May 2005[6] before being one of seven players not retained at the end of the season.[7]
