Maidstone caretaker boss Steve Watt will have one of his old managers alongside him in the dugout at Gateshead on Saturday.

Watt has brought in Craig Brewster, his former boss at Inverness, to help out while United search for Jay Saunders’ successor.

Brewster, who also managed Dundee United, was most recently No.2 to Derek Adams at Plymouth Argyle, a role he left at the end of last season.

He enjoyed big success at Home Park, reaching the League 2 play-off final in 2016 and winning automatic promotion a year later.

Brewster said: “I finished at Plymouth Argyle in the summer and Steve phoned me to ask if I would come in and help him while he’s caretaker and I was delighted to.

“Steve was my player at Inverness when I was manager there and I worked with him again at Ross County. I am delighted to team up and see where it goes.”

Watt said: “Craig’s got a wealth of experience in the league and had good success down at Plymouth.

“I am really grateful that he’s come in, I look forward to working with him and hopefully getting some positive results.”

Brewster also had a spell as caretaker manager at Crawley five years ago.
