Owls trio follow Laws to Burnley

SHEFFIELD Wednesday have allowed the backroom trio of Tom Little, Tim Henderson and Billy Mercer to join former Owls manager Brian Laws at Burnley.

Sports Scientist Little, Head of Recruitment Henderson and Goalkeeping Coach Mercer leave Hillsborough with immediate effect after the two clubs agreed a compensation package.

Laws, who took over at Burnley last week after being sacked by the Owls shortly before Christmas, also has former Owls coach Russ Wilcox at his side.

New manager Alan Irvine has appointed his former Preston North End Goalkeeping Coach Andy Rhodes to replace Mercer and will be adding others to his backroom staff in due course.

Rhodes, 45, has previously worked for Barnsley, Oldham Athletic, and Ipswich Town.
