Laight returns to the club for his second stint after three years.
As a player, Laight started his career at Barnsley, and featured for Stocksbridge Park Steels before retiring.
The club added: "Ryan now feels he needs a further challenge and has offered his services back at the club that he has so much passion for, saying I cant wait to get back to the hands on coaching and I see Stocksbridge as a great opportunity to see how far we can go, the club has the foundations to be successful both on and off the pitch, and I want to be a part of it.
"Welcome Home Ryan."
