Former AFC Telford striker Lee Hughes appointed joint-manager of Worcester City
Lee Hughes has been named as joint-manager of Worcester City, days after leaving AFC Telford.
The Bucks confirmed earlier this week that Hughes would not be at the club next season, with the 40-year-old making the move into management.
Following that, Worcester City confirmed the move to bring the striker back to the club as part of the coaching set-up, whilst still 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 joined Telford in February, scored four times in 12 games for the Bucks and had previously stated his desire to stay on for another season.
Rob Smith also praised the veteran forward for his efforts at the New Bucks Head following his departure.
