Career
Lincoln City
On 12 December 2002, Cornelly joined Lincoln City agreeing a deal until the end of the 2002-2003 season, 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 but a successful run in the first team saw him offered a full-time professional contract for the 2003-2004 season in April 2003, signing the deal the following month. 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 before being one of seven players not retained at the end of the season.
