He will join Jamie Milligan's backroom staff on a part-time basis.

On the announcement, Ormerod said: “Milly got the job and he and John Hills asked me to come and help out and take a few training sessions every now and again.

“I’ve known them both a long time and they’re both great lads.

“I played with them both as players, John with two spells at Blackpool, and Jamie obviously at Brig as well as Blackpool.

“I’m looking forward to going back – there’s a few familiar faces there, Boothy and Lawls are still there, and there’s Ali as well.
