Peter Dougan, Chairman of senior football at Harborough Town said: “Mitch’s drive, passion, ambition and clear vision of where he believes HTFC should be, matched that of the club.

“We are delighted to officially welcome Mitch and believe this to be the right appointment, at the right time, for both parties and we look forward to the future.

“We had some very good coaches and managers apply for the position.  We wanted to keep the process as short as possible and conclude the appointment before the players head to Holbeach on Saturday.”
