Former Blackburn striker and ex-Reading, Shrewsbury Town and Bournemouth boss Jimmy Quinn has joined Evo-Stik League Premier Division side Nantwich Town as director of football.

Quinn, who scored 17 goals in 71 games for Rovers between 1984 and 1986, has also managed Cambridge United and Northwich Victoria.

But the 48-times capped Northern Irishman has been out of the spotlight since December 2008, when he left Bournemouth to be replaced by current Burnley boss Eddie Howe.
