QPR Official Site - EXCLUSIVE: FLOWERS JOINS
Queens Park Rangers Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of former England goalkeeper Tim Flowers as Assistant Manager.

The 41 year-old, who won a Premiership winners medal with Blackburn Rovers in 1995, links up again with new First Team Coach Iain Dowie, as well as John Harbin, who has joined the Club as Performance Manager.
Flowers expressed his delight at renewing acquaintances with former Southampton team-mate Dowie, whom he worked alongside in an identical role at Coventry City for 12 months.

"I'm delighted to be here to assist Iain," he told www.qpr.co.uk.

"I like the look of this squad, I've seen QPR play a few times over the last 12 months or so and I'm very optimistic about next season. A squad as talented as this one, with a few new additions added to the mix, can certainly go a long way."

Flowers began his professional career with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1984, before subsequent spells at Southampton, Swindon Town, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City, Stockport County and Coventry City.

He made over 520 league appearances in that time, as well as representing his country on no fewer than 11 occasions.

Prior to his arrival at The Ricoh Arena in February 2007, Flowers spent four successful years as goalkeeping coach at Manchester City.

Harbin, who was born in Yorkshire, spent most of his early years in Queensland, Australia.

He moved back to England to coach Rugby League side Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in October 2000, before linking up with Dowie at Oldham Athletic as Fitness Coach, and yet again at Crystal Palace and Coventry City.
