We're pleased to confirm the arrival of Michael Doyle as our new Assistant Head Coach.

The Irishman reunites with newly appointed Rovers boss Ian Burchnall, whom he worked with at their previous club, Notts County.

The 40-year-old enjoyed a successful playing career across the EFL, winning promotion from League One with Leeds United and securing back-to-back success with Coventry City and Portsmouth.

Doyle's playing career saw him make over 350 appearances for the Sky Blues across two spells with the club - and featured in their 2-1 defeat to Rovers at The New Lawn back in 2018.

The new Assistant Head Coach said: "It's a great opportunity - and we're both really looking forward to it.

"It's a very unique situation to come into. It's very rare that a management team come into a club after they've just won the league, but we're all excited and it's brilliant for us.

"When Ian's previous assistant left Notts County, he asked me to step up and I haven't looked back since. It was a great year of learning and I feel really privileged to be stepping up two divisions."
