He told the club's website: "Well, obviously within football you have two transfer windows and leading up to those windows I'm working mainly with the U23 boys who aren't in and around David Moyes' plans at that moment in time.

"If they're not involved at firs-team level and they're still hungry to go and play men's football, then that's something I help with.

"Under the old Academy Manager (Terry Westley), I used to come in and do some mentoring for the U23s at the time.

"A couple of those younger players who I was mentoring then went out on loan and I began going and watching the games that they were playing in.

"It just went from there and then it became: 'Do you want to do this on a daily basis?' From that point I took the opportunity and I've really enjoyed it."
