Former Wolves goalkeeper Tim Flowers has been appointed the manager of a non-league club.
The 57-year-old is taking over a club that plays in the Southern League Premier Central, which is the seventh tier of English football. Redditch finished fourth last season and he replaces Matt Clarke, who stepped down from his post earlier this month. Flowers as manager of nearby Bromsgrove Sporting from February until April, leaving before their penultimate fixture. He had guided the club to survival but the club wanted to overhaul the playing aspect of the club, and now the 11-cap England international has landed on his feet.
“I’m looking forward to meeting the fans, I came to the Needham game and there was a fantastic atmosphere, all sides of the ground were in good voice and the place was rocking.
“Hopefully, the fans will turn up like that again to watch us early doors to help us get the results and try to match what we did last year. The plan is to have a right good go.”
