The ex-Town chief has been out of work since last October, when he was sacked by Championship side Ipswich.

Hurst is joined at Glanford Park by his No.2 from both Shrewsbury and Ipswich, Chris Doig.

The pair enjoyed roaring success at Montgomery Waters Meadow. They led Town away from League One relegation to the play-off final and Checkatrade Trophy final, which both ended in defeat.
