Yates Returns To Try And Salvage Solihull’s Season

He will help steer the club for the remainder of the season following the departure of Jimmy Shan on Wednesday.

The Stourbridge boss joins on a temporary basis whilst their league is suspended.

Yates is popular with Moors fans after he led them to a Great Escape in 2017-18.

Yates said: “It’s great to be back. I’ve been asked to come back until the end of the season and I plan to make a big impact.

“We’ve got some good players here and I want to get the best from them.

“The club know me, and I’ve worked with a few of the players and staff before. It was a surprise call but one I was delighted to take.”

Vice-Chairman Tim Murphy said: “We feel that Mark is a solid appointment for the club at this time.

“With his experience we hope he can build on the good work already done this season with the play-offs still firmly in our grasp.”
