Barnsley have appointed Paul Harsley as their new under 23s manager.

The 38-year-old was in charge of his first game on Friday, a 4-1 loss to Coventry City, then joined head coach Paul Heckingbottom on the sidelines for the first team match at Leeds United on Saturday.

Harsley had a long career in the lower leagues, playing for hometown club Scunthorpe, Northampton, Macclesfield, Port Vale and Chesterfield among others.

As a coach, he has previously been in top youth team roles at Scunthorpe and Birmingham City.
