Matt Stowell has agreed terms to become Milton United's player/coach.
The 28-year-old midfielder, who has played league football in both England and Italy, joined the club in January.
Milton boss Gary Ackling said: "Matt is the ideal person to take on the role of coach.
"He has experienced higher level football at Rushden & Diamonds and Bristol City, and is UEFA B qualified."
Meanwhile, Milton have secured the services of striker Vinny Rusher, who scored 14 goals in 17 games last season.
Rusher had received approaches from Fleet Town and Thatcham Town, as well as interest from former club Andover.
Meanwhile, work is ongoing to bring Milton's ground up to scratch as Oxford United's new training base.
Oxford director Kelvin Thomas and Milton's Patrick Horsman have been working together to ensure the schedule is complete for when United's training starts in July.
