Playing career
Born in Coventry, Law started his career at Bristol Rovers, making two appearances in The Football League during the 1994–95 season. He then moved into non-league football, playing for Stafford Rangers, before a hip injury forced him into premature retirement whilst playing for the Sacramento Knights in America.[3]
Managerial career
Non-League
He later went on to manage non-league sides Coventry Sphinx, Racing Club Warwick, Quorn and Barwell. While at Barwell he won the Midland Football Alliance, the highest position they had achieved as a club in their history and started an unbeaten run that eventually stretched to 66 games.[4]
Kettering Town
His successful run attracted the attention of Conference National side Kettering Town and he was appointed manager on 1 October 2010.[5] Kettering finished 14th in his first season in charge of the club.[6]
Tamworth
After eight months as manager of Kettering, Law was appointed manager of Tamworth on a three-year contract on 25 May 2011.[7]
