Leigh Genesis boss Mark Maddox has completed the formation of his coaching set-up for the new season with the appointment of former Leigh player Gary Scott as his assistant manager.
Having began his career with Rotherham United, 32 year old Scott made eight appearances for Leigh while on loan at Hilton Park for the first month of the club's Nationwide Conference debut season in 2000/2001 before going on to make more than 250 appearances over eight years with Altrincham.
After playing alongside each other in the Altrincham defence, Maddox and Scott teamed up again last year as Formby's management team, with Scott also proving to be a useful addition to the playing squad along with the coaching staff.
Scott's appointment completes Maddox's coaching set up, with Scott filling the position of assistant manager, midfielder Andy Heald as player-coach and the recent appointment of Richard Ward as coaching assistant.
Meanwhile, Mark Maddox's backroom staff is continuing to fall in to place with the appointment of a new coaching assistant at Crilly Park.
24 year old Richard Ward has joined the club to fill in the position vacated by Jonathan Gains' departure to rivals Chorley earlier in the summer.
Ward is particularly highly-qualified for position, holding a MSc and BSc (HONS) in Sports Psychology along with an FA Level 2 coaching badge, with work ongoing to achieve a UEFA B Licence by the end of October this year.
