KIDDERMINSTER Harriers boss Adam Murray has finalised his exit from the club after signing a two-year deal with Barrow.
Harriers confirmed Murray’s shock departure from Aggborough just three days after he guided the club to promotion from the National League North.
And Barrow have now confirmed Murray’s appointment on a deal until the summer of 2028 just hours after Harriers announced the shock departure of their former boss.
Barrow triggered a release clause in Murray’s contract and the now former Harriers boss expressed his desire to pursue the vacancy.
The Bluebirds suffered relegation from League Two on the final day of the season and will face Harriers in the National League next season.
Barrow chairman, Paul Hornby said: “I’m delighted to welcome Adam to the club and can’t wait to see him get started at the club.
“We as the board identified Adam as a target early due to his track record, current performances, and philosophy.
“We had to bide our time, due to his success with Kidderminster this season which extended into the post-season games but are really pleased to be able to have him on board.
“He’s a young, hungry manager but already has a whole range of experiences in England and in Europe including two promotions into the National League in the last four years.
“We also spoke to people within the game who couldn’t speak highly enough of him as a manager and as a person which speaks volumes of him as an individual.
“Our ambitions and beliefs for this season align and that culture and togetherness is going to be such a key factor this season and myself and the board are really excited for the year ahead.”
