Robinson linked to Harriers job

Former Hereford United player/coach Phil Robinson has been linked to the vacant managers job at Kidderminster Harriers according to the Kidderminster Shuttle.

Barry Norgrove, the Harriers chairman, said that they had noted the Stafford Rangers boss whose side are currently top of the Conference North.

"There are some decent managers that have done well in the lower leagues.

"The chap at Stafford for example and they won again on Saturday. There's some decent sorts in there."

The shortlisting process, which was scheduled to take place last week, has been delayed until January 5 at the earliest.

More about Robinson from HU-FC.co.uk:

Robinson joined Hereford United in July 2000 after a succesful career in the Football League. Phil spent three seasons as a professional at Aston Villa after an apprenticeship, and then joined up with Wolves, then under the guidance of now-Hereford chairman and boss Graham Turner. He had a hugely successful two years at Molineux winning both the Division Four and Division Three championships, before moving on again to Notts County, whom he rejoined in 1996 after spells at Huddersfield and Chesterfield. At Meadow Lane, he won the Division Three title for a second time, before joining Stoke City on a free transfer in the summer of 1998. He was Stoke's captain and played in central defence despite being known as a midfielder. Not the tallest of players at five foot ten inches, he has little left to prove in what has turned out to be an illustrious career, and joined Hereford in the summer of 2000 to link up once again with Graham Turner. 'Robbo' was almost ever present in the Hereford team in his first season, but last season an injury curtailed his appearance. Robinson was appointed manager of the side on October 1st, 2001 as Graham Turner tended his resignation, but at the end of the season, his contract was not renewed. He wasted little time, though, in linking up with Stafford Rangers as their new player-manager in the Dr. Martens League Premier Division.
