DARWEN'S new player-manager Dennis Hill admits he's having to start from scratch.
The 34-year-old former Burnley and Torquay professional - who has been playing for Nelson for the last two months - replaces Wayne Watkins at the Anchor Ground.
He spent three years at Darwen as a player, but admits he faces a tough challenge ahead.
"Darwen's a good club.
"It's a good place for me to start my managerial career, and I can't wait to get started," said Hill, who has brought in former Great Harwood Town and Chorley boss John Hughes as his assistant.
"There's no pressure on me this season. I'm building for next year.
"It's all about a re-building job here. I'm starting from scratch.

"I've spoken to the chairman and he's got big plans for the club.
"He wants this club back in Division One and it's my job to get them there."
Hill's first match as manager is away at Cheadle tomorrow.
