Stafford Rangers boss Tim Flowers has appointed his old Leicester City team-mate Matt Elliott as first team coach.

Elliott, who had a spell as assistant boss to Dean Edwards at Hednesford Town, has joined the Blue Square Bet North team on a non-contract basis.

He joined Leicester from Oxford in 1997 and scored both goals in the 2-1 League Cup final win over Tranmere in 2000.
