Gowling played under Burr whilst at Kidderminster during a spell that culminated in Harriers finishing second in the National League.

Gowling told https://www.herefordfc.co.uk: “I’m delighted that Steve has agreed to come in and help out.

“I wanted someone who I know in the game, who I can trust and who I can bounce ideas off.

“Steve shares the same passion and drive that I have for the game and coupled with his experience and knowledge I think he will be a real asset for us.”

Burr who has most recently been Senior Club Scout at League 1 Fleetwood Town, added: “Josh contacted me about getting involved and helping him out and I’m more than happy to do that. I’m really looking forward to it.”

“I know how driven Josh is as a player, which is why when I bought him in at Kidderminster, I made him captain.

“I know how much he wants to succeed as a manager and if I can help him in his first start to his managerial career then, hopefully, we can go on and do well for the football club.

“Josh has got to be his own man and make his own decisions, that’s what you do as a manager, but I’m here to help and guide him and I’m looking forward to it”.
