Former West Brom striker Lee Hughes appointed joint-manager of Worcester City

The forward was plying his trade with AFC Telford, but the club confirmed that he would be moving on into a management role elsewhere following the conclusion to the National League North season.

Following that, Worcester City confirmed the move to bring the 40-year-old in to assist with management duties whilst also holding a playing role.

"Following a number of discussions over the past two weeks the Club Board are delighted to announce the appointment of Joint-Managers, John Snape and Lee Hughes, for the coming season." Read the Worcester City statement.

"During his time at the club, Lee Hughes was an influential part of the team. His new role as joint-manager will allow him to continue playing football, whilst the club utilise his vast experience and knowledge to coach and develop players.

"The board are excited with this new venture and are actively working with the management team to prepare for the new season, recruiting players and preparing for pre-season friendlies."

The striker spent two spells at West Brom, scoring 90 goals for the club in over 200 appearances.

He also featured for a number of other clubs including Coventry City, Oldham Athletic, Notts County, and Forest Green Rovers.
