DEAN Brennan has been announced as the new manager of Billericay Town.

The former Hemel Hempstead Town chief has been appointed by owner Glenn Tamplin to take over at the National League South club.

Brennan, who joins along with assistant manager Stuart Maynard, links up with Town following a six year spell in charge of Hemel Hempstead.

The new boss is understood to have penned a three-year deal at the AGP Arena and will be in the dugout for Saturday's match against Burnham in the FA Cup.

Brennan joins following the sacking of Harry Wheeler last month.
