Mansfield Town appoint Andy Todd as player-coach

Todd helped Accrington win promotion to the Football League in 2006

Mansfield Town manager Paul Cox has completed his backroom staff by recruiting midfielder Andy Todd from Eastwood Town as player-coach.

Former Nottingham Forest trainee Todd, 32, has a wealth of experience in the area having played for Worksop, Hucknall and Eastwood.

Todd has also played for Burton Albion, Accrington Stanley, and Rotherham.

Cox said: "Knowing Andrew, he'll want to be in the first XI every week. He is a competitor and a winner."

Having last week named Micky Moore as assistant manager, Cox is thrilled to have finalised his coaching line-up.

"I would be surprised if Andrew isn't one of the fittest players in pre-season training," said Cox. "He looks after himself immaculately.

"He won this league five or six years ago with Accrington and will be a great addition to the backroom staff, as well as the squad."
