Former FC Halifax Town and North Ferriby manager Billy Heath appointed as new Alfreton Town boss

Alfreton Town have appointed Billy Heath as their new manager.
Heath left FC Halifax in January having won promotion via the National League North play-offs last year.
Before that success, he guided North Ferriby to two promotions, the first from the Evo-Stik Northern Premier in the 2013 season. Two years later, his Ferriby side won the FA Trophy with a dramatic victory on penalties over Wrexham.
The following season, Heath won his second promotion as Ferriby reached the National League by beat AFC Fylde in extra time of the play-off final.
He told the club’s website: “Alfreton has always been a good club, I’ve known Wayne for a long time and there has always been a good feel to Alfreton when I’ve brought teams here, it’s very well run and the club has been successful in the past when they were in the Conference and it’s an exciting project here.”
“There was big expectations last season for the Club and as an outsider looking in last season, I thought Alfreton should have been higher up the table but It’s important for us to prepare during the summer, pre-season is paramount at any football club and you can imagine it’s hectic now!”
“We are planning pre- season and also deciding on the squad from last season. My message to the fans is that we want to bring success again to the club and get Alfreton back to where we think it should be. My teams always give 100% and are always hard-working. I am really pleased to be here and can’t wait to get started.”
