Adam Murray guided Eastbourne Borough to the National League South play-offs

Kidderminster Harriers have appointed their former midfielder Adam Murray as manager following the sacking of Phil Brown.
The 43-year-old took AFC Fylde into the National League as champions in 2022-23 and Harriers are hoping he can do the same for them after a near-miss under Brown.
Murray left Eastbourne Borough last week after guiding them to a third-placed finish in National League South, just a point off the title. He took that job in January 2024, with Eastbourne 21st, and steered them to safety.
He has also managed Mansfield Town and Boston United, as well as having two spells as caretaker manager at Barnsley.
In addition to a season with Harriers in 2003-04, Murray's playing career also took in Derby County, Notts County, Burton Albion, Mansfield, Carlisle United, Torquay United, Macclesfield Town, Oxford United and Luton Town.
Brown was sacked a fortnight ago after defeat by Southport on the final day of the season cost Kidderminster the National League North title, and they then lost to Chester in the play-off semi-finals.
Club owner Richard Lane said of Murray on the club website, external: "His enthusiasm, commitment and passion for the position came through loudly when we met and his CV, as a player and a manager, speaks for itself."
