The 43-year-old has become an ambassador of the club but will still train and be part of the first team squad, alongside that he will also be working with the owners and directors off the field to promote and push the club on further.

The veteran defender had re-signed for Redditch United in September 2020 from Southern League Premier Division Central rivals Rushall Olympic, where he had been since December 2018 from Halesowen.

His career started with Kidderminster Harriers where he came through the ranks but was unable to break into the first team at Aggborough.

Instead, he moved to Willenhall Town where his reliable displays attracted plenty of higher-level attention, with AFC Telford United winning the race for his signature.

After spending a year in America, he returned to these shores and turned out for the likes of Stourport Swifts, Worcester City and Rushall for a short spell.

He first moved to Halesowen at the turn of 2003 and went on to become captain of the team before moving on to Redditch as the club established themselves at step two.

At the age of 29 he was given his first opportunity in professional football with a switch to SkyBet League Two outfit Mansfield Town where he made a handful of appearances before returning to Telford.

He then served the likes of Redditch, Corby Town, Worcester City, Leamington, Chasetown and Hinckley United before returning to Halesowen at the start of the 2013/14 campaign and remained there until returning to the Pics.
