In a vastly experienced managerial career, Harris has taken posts at the likes of Newport County, Gloucester City, Hereford, Forest Green Rovers, Merthyr Tydfil and brief spells with Tamworth, and Redditch United in a variety of roles.

 

He began as manager at Cinderford Town in the 1990’s where he secured the Hellenic League Division One title, the Hellenic Premier Division and two league cups.

 

At Cinderford he also had a memorable FA Cup run to the Second Round proper.

 

He then moved onto Newport County where he was in charge until 2002.

 

In this time, the Exiles won promotion to the Southern League Premier Division and drew with Blackpool at Bloomfield Road in another excellent FA Cup run.

 

Harris had an additional spell at Newport between 2008 and 2013 as director of football, where they had two promotions, two Wembley appearances and a return to the Football League after an absence of 25 years.

 

He has held similar roles at Tamworth, and Hereford more recently.

 

City fans will probably know Harris best from his time as manager – general manager - of neighbours Gloucester City.

 

He spent two periods with the Tigers, initially 2005 to 2008 where they secured promotion as Southern League play-off winners.

 

He then returned 2013 to 2017 where he continually kept Gloucester in the National League North whilst the club were in exile.

 

After a playing career starting at Shrewsbury Town youth, Harris went on to play for Newport County youth and reserves before signing with Gloucester in 1980.

 

He joined Cheltenham Town 1981/82 season and had two loan spells and won the Southern League championship in 1984/85 season and were runners–up in the League Cup final.

 

Harris told https://www.worcestercityfc.org: “Worcester City is a great fit for me. It goes without saying that this football club has a rich history and strong fan base, the Board have managed expectations well and have got it into a good position to kick on now.

 

“The timing for me was perfect, the fact Worcester City hasn’t had a promotion for 40 years needs to change, and I’ll be working with the board towards that aim. I can’t wait to get going and the sooner football returns the better.”

 

Chairman Steve Goode said: “We are really pleased to have secured Tim’s services as manager. His CV speaks for itself whilst his approach and values are very much in chime with our ambitions and methodology as a football club. He ticks every box for us. We can’t wait for Tim to settle in and get going”.
