Harford returns to Town
17 Jan 2008 - 07:17:36
Troubled Luton Town have named Mick Harford as their new manager until the end of the season.
The Sunderland-born 48-year-old had two playing spells with the Hatters during a nomadic career and also had a brief spell in charge of Rotherham United.
He was part of the Luton team that won the Littlewoods Cup in 1988 and has worked as a coach or assistant manager at Wimbledon, Nottingham Forest, Swindon Town, Millwall, Colchester and, most recently, QPR.
Harford replaces Kevin Blackwell, who had his contract terminated with immediate effect by the club's administrators.
Blackwell had announced his decision to resign last week and was set to leave the crisis-torn club on February 9.
The former Leeds United boss was in charge at Anfield on Tuesday night as the Hatters lost their FA Cup third round replay 5-0 to Liverpool.
