Former Coventry, Brighton and Oxford player Andy Whing has joined Hereford as First Team Coach.
The 34-year-old holds an A License and has coaching experience
with Oxford, Kidderminster and Coventry.
"I’m really
pleased to bring in Andy, he’s played for me at Brighton and Leyton Orient so I
know him well, he’s a really good type," said Hereford Manager Russell
Slade, as reported on the club's official website.
“Hopefully the balance between an older manager and a younger coach will work, I’m sure he’ll do well for this football club and I’m delighted that he’s with us.”
Whing made nearly 400 Football League experienced and joined Oxford's Academy set up after retiring through injury aged 31.
Most recently, he was part of the Coventry City Academy.
“I’m really looking forward to the challenge I enjoy being out on the grass in the week working with the players and then seeing the results on a Saturday," said Whing.
“I’ve played at Edgar Street a few times in my career and I know that the atmosphere can be really rocking. This is a really big club and I’m looking forward to getting going.
