Salford City midfielder Matthew Lund is to take on a player-coach role with the club.
Lund, 34, has played 129 times for the Ammies since joining from Rochdale in the summer of 2021. But he will now combine playing with being part of Karl Robinson's backroom team at the Peninsula Stadium.
"It has been a change for me, but it is something that you kind of find yourself doing when you get older, teaching the young lads, trying to coach them on the pitch, and it has kind of felt natural for me," he told.
Salford lost first-team coach Simon Wiles at the end of September with the 39-year-old leaving for an opportunity at an unnamed Premier League club.
