The 52-year-old, who also enjoyed a successful playing career spanning nearly two decades, has also managed Luton and held coaching roles at Blackpool and Port Vale.
The pinnacle of Brabin’s playing career came during the mid-1990s with Blackpool, where he played alongside Mellon.
He moved into coaching with Southport in 2008 and soon impressed, taking them into the National League North play-offs.
Cambridge then came calling, leading them to second place in the National League, losing the play-off final to Stevenage, before being named the division’s Manager of the Year.
After spending a few months as chief scout at Luton, he made the step up to assistant manager, before taking up the role of first-team manager, leading Luton to the play-off final.
A return to Southport was next for Brabin before coaching within the academy at Everton. His next managerial gig was with Tranmere, signing Andy Cook and James Norwood who formed a formidable strike partnership.
He returned to coaching after just missing out on the play-offs with Tranmere, holding roles at Port Vale, Blackpool and Luton.
