Hednesford Town appoint former Chelsea player Frank Sinclair

Frank Sinclair has been named the new manager of Hednesford Town.

The National League North outfit have made the announcement just a few hours after it was confirmed that they had parted company with Bernard McNally.

"I'm pleased that it has come around now and I think I'm ready for the job. I have been helped along today very much by the chairman and we have left no stone unturned regarding the squad, the football club and the supporters and what is expected here," the 44-year-old former Chelsea defender told the club's official website.

"We have got a lot of hard work to do and it is something that I am really excited about and I think it is a great platform for myself to go again and to try and improve on field results for Hednesford."

Sinclair will take charge of the Pitmen for the first time against Stalybridge Celtic on Saturday.
