Steve Brown has been appointed as Lewes’s manager for next season.

Brown, who ended the 2014-15 campaign as interim boss at the Dripping Pan, will be assisted by former Lewes favourite Jay Lovett.

The appointments will be confirmed by the Ryman Premier outfit today.

Brown, Albion’s former youth team boss, took over at Lewes in early March after the departure of Garry Wilson and Danny Bloor.

Rooks avoided relegation on the final day of the season before losing to Whitehawk in the Sussex Senior Cup final last Saturday.

He will have help from Lovett, who has already had three spells with the Rooks.

Lovett started his playing days as a 16-year-old at Lewes before signing for Plymouth Argyle.

Most recently he has had a successful stint as academy manager with Eastbourne Borough.

As well as his assistant manager’s role, Lovett will also head the academy at Lewes.
