Former England cricketer Steve Harmison moves into football after being appointed manager of non-league side Ashington Town.

Former England cricketer Steve Harmison has been appointed manager of non-league side Ashington Town.

The 36-year-old, who is a Newcastle United supporter, has made the move into football management 16 months after retiring from cricket.

Harmison will take charge of Ashington, who are struggling in Division One of the Northern Football League, for the first time on Tuesday when they travel to Bishop Auckland.

The ex-Durham bowler will be assisted by head coach Ian Skinner and Lee Anderson as part of a new management team at Woodhorn Lane.

"All three have a wealth of experience in the sporting world and together can build on the success that Ashington football club have had since moving to Woodhorn Lane," chairman Ian Lavery told the club's official website.

Harmison took 226 wickets in 63 Tests for England and was a member of the side that won the Ashes in 2005.
