FORMER Coventry City defender David Busst has been unveiled as the new manager of Dr Martens League Evesham United.

Busst, whose playing career was cut short following an horrific leg break against Manchester United at Old Trafford, follows in the footsteps of his father John who has also managed at Common Road in the mid-1990s.

Evesham chairman Jim Cockerton is delighted to have persuaded the ex-Solihull Borough boss to put pen to paper and insists he's the right man for the job.

"I think we've got the man to take the club forward," said Cockerton.

"We've been in the doldrums for the last 10 months but he's young, enthusiastic and knows his way around the Western Division."

Paul West, who has been caretaker manager with Micky Brennan, will stay on as Busst's number two whose first task will be to persuade Nathan Jukes to stay. The midfielder has been linked with a move to Stourport.

Robins' forward Mark Shepherd has finally completed a move to Redditch.
