Stoke Under-21s boss Hibbert joins Wycombe

Stoke City Under-21s head coach Dave Hibbert has left the side to join Wycombe Wanderers as their first-team set-piece coach.

The 39-year-old took charge of the Potters Premier League 2 team in January and departs after 12 years of service within Stoke's academy.

Former Potters winger Liam Lawrence will take charge of the vacant head coach role in the interim.

"Dave has made a significant contribution to the development of hundreds of academy players, on and off the pitch, in more than a decade of service to Stoke City," Stoke academy manager Sam Stockley said.

"Dave has our gratitude for his dedication to his various roles at the club and our sincere best wishes for his future career."
