Former Hull City, Preston North End and Southend United boss named new manager at National League club

Kidderminster sacked Russ Penn after a poor run of form had left them bottom of the table and have now announced the former Hull, Preston and Swindon boss as his successor.

Harriers have only won four out of 28 league games and Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Rochdale left them seven points from safety.

Brown, a former Halifax Town skipper, led Hull to promotion into the Premier League but has enjoyed mixed fortunes since then in management, most recently being in charge of fellow National League club Southend.
