In January, Brown, who coached Hull in the Premier League and previously held positions at Preston North End and Derby County, assumed leadership of the Harriers.
He signed a contract that would last until the conclusion of the season, however he was unable to keep the team from being demoted to the English football league’s sixth division. Brown received a new contract at Aggborough Stadium in spite of the club’s relegation. Neil McDonald, his assistant, has also pledged his future to the team.
“Relegation has been a big disappointment to myself and everyone involved with Kidderminster Harriers football club, not least our partners and sponsors, dedicated supporters and the local community,” stated Kidderminster chairman Richard Lane.
