Forest Green Rovers have appointed Mark Bowen as their new director of football.
The former Wales full-back was most recently working at League One side Reading as sport director and head of football operations until last year.
The 61-year-old, who also played for Norwich, West Ham and Charlton during his playing career, was assistant manager to Mark Hughes with Wales, Blackburn, Manchester City, Fulham, QPR and Southampton.
He has previously been a head coach at Reading and also interim manager at AFC Wimbledon.
Forest Green have been without a director of football since Allan Steele left in early 2024.
The Gloucestershire club finished third in the National League last season but were beaten by Southend on penalties in the play-offs to miss out on the Wembley final and a chance to return to League Two.
