PNE's backroom team is boosted by new trio

The arrival of Jason Euell as first team coach at North End has been well covered, but he is not the only new man at the club.

Earlier this month the Lilywhites confirmed changes to their football-ing staff, across the fitness, recruitment and analysis departments.

Andy Liddell (fitness coach)

The 51-year-old arrives with a wealth of experience, both as a player and coach. Liddell made more than 650 appearances in his playing days, representing Wigan, Barnsley and Oldham most notably, along with Sheffield United and Rotherham.

His journey as a coach began with the Millers, after the ex-forward completed a PFA-run sports science degree. He worked in a voluntary fitness and reserve-team coaching role. Liddell then had a crack at the caretaker gig for around one month, before joining Ipswich to work under ex-Latics chief Paul Jewell.
