First team coaching staff depart

18 May 2023

Rovers can confirm that coaches Chad Gribble and Ian Bennett have left the club.

Following the recent changes to the first team coaching staff, Gribble was offered the opportunity to return to a role within the Rovers Academy.

The 30-year-old declined the offer and leaves with the best wishes of all at Rovers.

Gribble joined Rovers in April 2022 as head of the Professional Development Phase within the Academy. He moved to first team level on an interim basis last October before being appointed assistant head coach on a permanent basis later that month.

Goalkeeping coach Bennett has also left the club. Bennett joined Rovers in June 2022. We wish his all the very best in his next opportunity.

Meanwhile, Paul Green has accepted an opportunity to return to work in the Rovers Academy.

Green held the role of first team transition coach from November 2022 until the end of the season, having switched from Academy coaching.

The details of his new role within the Academy will be confirmed in due course.
