Doncaster Rovers hail 'coup' after appointing ex-Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United payer Ian Bennett as goalkeeping coach

Worksop-born Bennett, 50, whose coaching career began in Huddersfield's academy, left his role as coach at Middlesbrough at the end of last season.

McSheffrey said: "It’s a real coup for the club.

"We were aware he became available and had an initial chat a few weeks back. It was nice to get him in.

"Getting someone of Benno’s experience to work with the first team is so key for the club. It shows the players we mean business.

"He knows the game inside and out."

On joining Rovers, Bennett commented: "First impressions, it’s a really good club to join.

"We want to get the club going forward again.

"It’s a good time to be coming into the club, with the manager and a couple of people I already know in Steve Eyre and Steve Hernandez.

"We know the foundations they’re setting and what we’re doing with the players and hopefully we can put that in place."
