Tim Flowers leaves Kidderminster Harriers for Football League club

But former Harriers defender Mark Creighton will stay on after being named Gary Whild's assistant manager.

Whild, Creighton and Flowers worked together at the end of the season after Whild took over as boss following the sacking of Andy Thorn.

Ceighton has now signed a deal to be Whild's No.2 next season but Flowers has taken up an offer from a new club.

Whild said: "We're chuffed to have Creights back in with us; he's eager to get going and that's what I want and the club wants.

"You want that enthusiasm from him and he has got plenty of that along with some good experience.

"It's an ideal opportunity for him for him to progress now he's finished playing."

Creighton added: "I'm fortunate to be offered the position to work alongside Gary again – It's an honour to be given that chance and it is privileged role.

"I have recently retired and I didn't want to come out of football; it was what I want to do and where better to do it than here?"

Flowers said: "To be able to coach and train with the lads every day was great for me and I thoroughly enjoyed that at Kiddy – it was terrific.

"Under any other circumstance I would've liked that to have continued, 100% and it's crazy because it's like the old cliché – you wait ages for a bus and two come along at once.

"Kidderminster is a tremendous club and one that is full of people who work long, long hours.

"It's beautifully run club from the Chairman down and it's been a pleasure to get to know everybody so well.

"I'll still be watching and will get to games whenever I can and I'd love nothing more than for them to get back into the Football League where they belong because it is a League club in terms of how it is run and the potential of its fan-base.

"If I can be of any help to Gaz and Creights in the future, it's a given I'll do that as I'm sure we'll talk regularly."
