United land Hendry

Boston United have appointed Colin Hendry as their new assistant manager.

Hendry replaces Paul Raynor, who remains part of the coaching team at York Street, as Steve Evans's number two.

"I'm really looking forward to the job in hand," said Hendry who left his role as Blackpool manager last year.

"I met Steve in the summer, during our Uefa 'A' licence coaching course and we went over various aspects of the game and analysed different levels of football. We had a good time and certainly got on well throughout.

"This challenge is a great opportunity for me and I'm a very willing worker.

"I'm comfortable with the management structure and although it's a new kind of role for me, I'm serious about what I'm doing and I'll work hard for the manager, the chairman, the coaching staff, the players and of course the supporters."
