Last updated : 21 June 2018 By CNS Sport

Former Coventry City player Lee Fowler has been appointed assistant manager at Nuneaton Borough.

Fowler, made fourteen appearances for City from 1999 to 2003 in a career which has seen him play for Huddersfield, Scarborough, Burton, Newport, Forest Green, Kettering, Wrexham, Fleetwood, Doncaster, Kidderminster, The New Saints, Nuneaton, Crawley, Tamworth and Telford.

The midfielder will team up with former City U23's boss Nicky Eaden, who was assistant manager when Fowler was at Kettering in 2009 and he told Nuneaton's club website: “I enjoyed working with Nicky at Kettering and we've stayed in touch over the past decade, so when I was offered the role I was delighted. It feels like the right time to start the next chapter in my career.

 “I'm excited to be back at the club, though I remember my first game, and it wasn't a great day. We were away at Torquay and it was a nightmare debut. We were soundly beaten and I was taken off at half-time.

“I've worked under a lot of different managers “I've taken bits from all of them, both good and bad. I know what myself and Nicky want from the players, our core values will be straight-forward hard work and honesty.

“Myself and Nicky will be working very hard as well, we want to create a good environment for the players to thrive in. The signings we have made, and the signings we hope to complete shortly, will show our intent and represent what we’re about. We want to build a team that both ourselves and the fans can be proud of.”
