Next Game: Pre-Season Continues With West Brom U21's At Edgar Street On Saturday July 13th At 3pm

Josh Gowling 'really excited' as he lands new job in football

Former Hereford manager Josh Gowling has a new job after being sacked by Darlington earlier last Christmas.

He posted on social media saying he's the new under-18s lead coach for Championship side Coventry City.

The start of another pre-season under my belt, but in a slightly different role.

"U18s lead coach in the city I grew up in, really excited about this one."

The 40-year-old never played for his hometown club and spent the majority of his playing career at Kidderminster Harriers, AFC Bournemouth, Gillingham, Grimsby Town and Hereford.

His tenure at Edgar Street ended by mutual consent after a disappointing run of results and 1-0 defeat to Farsley Celtic.

He joined the Bulls first as a player in December 2018 before being appointed as interim manager in January 2020.

He left Hereford 15th in the table, eight points above the bottom three and eight points from the top eight as his assistant Yan Klukowski took control of first-team affairs until the end of the season.
