Gannon adds to backroom staff

Port Vale manager Jim Gannon has added to his backroom staff by bringing in coaching duo Ben Cooper and Andy Mulliner.

Gannon has found himself immediately under the spotlight having endured a tough start to life at Vale Park, with four defeats and a goalless draw since being appointed as Micky Adams' successor at the start of January. Cooper arrives as a strength and conditioning coach while Mulliner, a former Vale trainee during his playing days, is the club's new goalkeeping coach.
