He will be assisted by Lee Fowler, who recently left BetVictor Northern Premier League Division One South East side Ilkeston Town.

Law has over 20 years of managerial experience and spent the last 5 seasons with the Poppies, gaining promotion last season to the National League North by winning the Southern League Premier Division Central title before resigning in June.

A former professional goalkeeper, Law holds his UEFA B license and has built up a strong reputation within the game.

Club owner Gareth Roberts told https://bpafc.com: “Marcus is regarded as having steadied the footballing affairs at Kettering after years of financial turmoil whilst building the club back up through the non-League pyramid.

“He has a good record of developing players playing winning football. After yesterday’s news about Garry and a game against Kidderminster Harriers this weekend we felt we had to act quickly so that we can plan whilst still having time to make changes to the squad.”

Fowler joins the club after enjoying a long career as a professional footballer himself playing for a host of League clubs and earning 12 Wales under-21 caps.

He has also experience as both a manager and assistant manager having recently guided Ilkeston to the Total Motion Midland League Premier Division title last season.
