FORMER Southend United boss Phil Brown has signed a two year contract to stay in charge of Kidderminster Harriers.
Brown was appointed in January and narrowly failed to keep the Harriers in the National League.
But director of football Dean Holdsworth is pleased Brown has agreed to stay on as the club bid to bounce back.
He told the club's website: "Relegation hurt us all, we must turn that hurt into determination to bounce back.
"The arrival of Phil Brown gave the players, supporters and the whole club a new sense of belief, and the re-signing of Phil indicates the chairman’s ambition to return to the National League as soon as possible.
“Although we didn’t reach our goal of staying up, to take that fight into the final weeks of the season given the position we were in is remarkable, as is the drive and passion, Phil, the backroom staff and the players have shown.
“We’re delighted to secure their services for another two seasons.
"We look forward to pressing the ‘reset’ button; plenty of hard work is already going on to ensure we are in the best possible shape to compete next season.”
