Hednesford Town announce new management team

Hurren joins the Pitmen from Stratford Town, where he had been in charge for two seasons, leading them to the brink of the play-offs in his inaugural campaign.

The 39-year-old, who featured for the likes of Kidderminster Harriers, Mansfield Town and Crawley Town during his playing days, enjoyed a brief spell with Hednesford Town towards the back end of his career.

Joining him in the dugout as his assistant manager is Lee Vaughan, a former Tranmere Rovers and Cheltenham Town player who made over 600 appearances throughout his career.

On taking up the reins at the Hednesford Town, Hurren said: "Hednesford Town is a club with a proud history and an incredible fanbase. 

"I would like to thank Craig, Amanda and the Directors for giving me this opportunity. I am excited to now lead this team into a new era.

"With Lee and my backroom staff, we have the expertise, passion and drive to succeed at this level and beyond.

“We are eager to hit the ground running and connect with our supporters as we build a squad capable of achieving our ambitious goals.”
