Jamie Pitman has joined the Bulls as Club Physio, according to Forest Green Rovers.
A statement on their website reads:
Jamie Pitman has left Forest Green Rovers to take up the position of Club Physiotherapist at Coca Cola Division One side Hereford United. Jamie signed for Rovers from Hereford United in 2006 as a player and was promoted to player/assistant manager by manager Jim Harvey at the start of the following season following the departure of then assistant Paul Wanless.
Pitman, who played 181 times for the Bulls in two spells from 1996-98 and 2002-06, started the first two games of Forest Green's season but failed to last an hour in either and has not featured since. He is the second of the Conference play-off winning side to return today, joining Andy Williams back at Edgar Street. The status of existing physio Wayne Jones is unknown, but he is rumoured to be heading for Yeovil.
Jimmy Harvey has spoken of his shock at the 'sudden' move:
"We have made a very encouraging start and Jamie has been very much a part of the coaching and playing squad up to this week We have had an extremely good working relationship and it therefore came as a great surprise when Jamie told me he was leaving after just six games into the season."
