New First Team Manager, Brandon Simpson said:

​​

"I am absolutely delighted to welcome Kris to our coaching staff. When you're building a management team, you look for individuals who not only possess high-level technical capability but who also understand the culture of the club.

 

Having a former player return to the club gives us that vital connection to the club's identity, and his UEFA B License is a testament to his quality and dedication as a coach. I'm really looking forward to working closely with him as we drive standards and prepare the squad for the season ahead."
