Harriers are pleased to welcome Gavin Crowe on board as the club's new physiotherapist.

Former physio Pete Dugmore departed to join up with the RAF following the end of last season, but boss Mark Yates welcomes his replacement for the first day of pre-season training today.

Crowe comes to Aggborough with a fine knowledge of the game - he's been the physio at the Cheltenham Town Centre of Excellence as well as working at Bishop's Cleeve.

Yates told the official website: "Pete was offered a fantastic opportunity to go and work for the RAF - we weren't in a position to stand in his way, nor would we have done.

"Gavin's coming in as a fresh face with his own ideas; I know he'll do an excellent job for us, as Pete did and as Ian Foster did before him.

"He's knows the role and he knows what he's talking about - he's desperate to do well and he'll do everything possible to keep the players out of the treatment room."
