New chairman at Brigg
3rd February, 2016
Tim Harris has taken over as chairman at Brigg Town following the stepping down of Craig Tock.
He will also remain the club's football secretary and will oversee all goings on at the Hawthorns.
Harris returned to the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division side eighteen months after a successful stint as commercial director at Carlton Town and Nottingham Forest Ladies.
With over 21 years in the game from the Championship through almost every level, he has seen and dealt with almost everything, and the Zebras wish him all the luck possible and anyone who would like to contact him can do so at the club most days.
The news comes as Tim's twin brother and former Brigg Town chairman Simon Harris has taken the role at Division One side Grimsby Borough for his second term at the Wilderness Boys.
So, what are the odds of there being a pre-season friendly between the two teams in the summer?
