Dean Glover player profile:

Dean Glover was a cultured central defender who was signed from Middlesbrough in 1989 for a then club record £200,000. Converted from central midfield, the ball-playing Glover formed a formidable partnership with the more aggressive Neil Aspin and the pair were key players in the 1993-1994 promotion side.

After a long playing career with Port Vale, Glover moved to Kidderminster Harriers in 1998.

Glover returned to the club in a coaching position after his playing career ended and had spells as both caretaker manager and full-time manager before leaving the club in 2009.

He returned to the Valiants in 2012 for a spell as a youth coach.
