"I know from experience how King Power will want to go about developing every aspect of OHL and I'm really looking forward to trying to help the club realise some of its ambitions going forward.

"The club has an exciting group of players and a dedicated team of staff that I'm really looking forward to working with every day in pursuit of our goals."
