CHRIS Doig has been appointed as the club’s assistant manager. 

The Scottish defender will continue as a player and will take up a role as ‘assistant player-manager’ when the players return for pre-season on July 1. 

And Town manager Paul Hurst is delighted to see  the 33 year-old back at the club. Paul said: “I’m pleased to have Chris on board. He showed last season, once Rob had gone, what a massive help he could be on the training ground. We did have that in mind for him to help a little bit, but he ended up doing more and more on the training ground - which he took to very well.”

Doig is currently undertaking his final assessment for his UEFA A-License.
