Martyn Margetson has been appointed England goalkeeping coach.

Margetson, 44, was part of Wales manager Chris Coleman's backroom staff at the 2016 European Championship and worked with England boss Sam Allardyce at West Ham.

He will combine his international duties with his role as goalkeeping coach at Cardiff City.

"This is a great opportunity and I am excited to be working alongside Sam again," he said.

"I know what he can bring to a squad and also to the coaching staff."

Margetson takes over from Dave Watson as Allardyce reshuffles his backroom staff.
