Commenting on their appointment, director of football Keith McKenna stated: “We are totally delighted to appointed Rob Smith & Larry Chambers to Halesowen Town FC and with their experience and management credentials, I think they are a perfect fit for us.

“Their record speaks for itself and with Rob playing for the clubs previously, they fully understand the history and fabric of what we are all about and hope the fans get right behind them as we start to build a new era and hopefully move up the table.”

Hednesford host Stratford Town at the Grove on Saturday.
