Tadcaster Albion have announced that experienced defender Matt Heath has been appointed as the club?s player-assistant manager.

Heath will continue to play for The Brewers, but will now also take on coaching responsibilities as Miller's right-hand man.

Heath has already made 13 appearances for the club this season, but sat out on Saturday's 4-3 defeat at Barton Town Old Boys as he began his new joint role.

The 33-year-old brings a wealth of experience to the coaching side having played in the Premier League with Leicester City and also at Leeds United.

Due to work commitments, Mike Morton and Simon Collins will now concentrate primarily on their work with the i2i Football Academy, both domestic and international.

They will however remain a key part of the club management team and will assist Miller and Heath wherever they can. They will also continue to manage Tadcaster Albion U21s.

Expressing his delight on the new role, Heath said: "I am relishing the chance to take the next step in my football career.

"I feel privileged to be given the chance to work with so many fantastic people at this great club. I have loved my first few months here at Tadcaster Albion and with such a strong squad, I feel sure we will enjoy another successful season."
