Doncaster Rovers confirm two members of coaching team have left the club

Goalkeeping coach Ian Bennett is also leaving Doncaster for a new role at another club. His exit was unrelated to Grant McCann’s arrival and Rovers' search for his replacement has already begun.

Gribble served as Danny Schofield’s assistant from October after joining Rovers as youth team manager 12 months ago, having previously worked in the youth set-up at Exeter City.

The 34-year-old was offered the chance to return to Doncaster's youth team following Schofield's exit last week and Cliff Byrne’s arrival as McCann’s assistant.

But he has opted to leave.

Posting on social media, he wrote: “Was an honour and a privilege to step out every week and represent the club.

"There are some great people there, doing some great work. I wish the club all the best in the future.”

Paul Green, who was also promoted to the first team following Schofield's appointment, is set to stay at the club and return to the academy.

The pair initially took caretaker charge following Gary McSheffrey's dismissal before being promoted on a full-time basis.

Green previously worked in the first team as fitness coach under Richie Wellens before taking up the role of youth development phase transition coach.

He was given the title of first team transition coach upon his return to the senior set-up.

Former Birmingham City stopper Bennett joined Doncaster's coaching team under McSheffrey in June 2022.
