Nottingham Forest and Derby County old boy named interim manager of non-league team

Former Nottingham Forest and Derby County striker Jamie Ward has taken interim charge of Southern League Central side Ilkeston Town.

Ward, 36, joined the non-league side in May 2022 from Buxton FC and has scored one goal for Ilkeston in their opening six games of the season. The Robins currently sit 19th in the table, a place outside the relegation zone after four draws.

Despite overcoming Matlock Town in the FA Cup on Saturday, the club confirmed on Tuesday morning that manager Martin Carruthers' contract has been cancelled by mutual consent after a difficult start to their return to the seventh-tier of English football.
