FORMER Premier League player Martin Paterson has been announced as a Barnsley first team coach.
The former team-mate of new head coach Michael Duff joins from Inter Miami where he worked alongside Phil Neville and David Beckham.
Paterson, 35, and Duff secured promotion to the Premier League with Burnley in 2008 under Owen Coyle.
The Northern Ireland international was the Clarets' top scorer in that season, before moving on after five years at the club and having spells with Huddersfield Town, Orlando City, Blackpool, Port Vale, Tampa Bay Rowdies and ATK in Kolkata, India.
Barnsley chief executive Khaled El-Ahmad said: "Martin has a great knowledge of the English game and provides great energy to the players, and also set piece knowledge.
"He has had fantastic experiences of playing and coaching in the States where he will have also been exposed to different ways of playing."
