Harvey guided Town to their historic FA Trophy success at Wembley against Grimsby in May before leaving the club after his contract was not renewed.

He initially came to The Shay as assistant manager to Darren Kelly but couldn’t prevent the club’s relegation at the end of last season after he took charge following Kelly’s dismissal.

Altrincham are due to play Halifax at Moss Lane on February 4.
