Uddin to focus on playing

Barnet defender Anwar Uddin will revert to his playing duties next season after a stint as assistant to Giuliano Grazioli.

The 29-year-old was injured towards the end of this campaign and acted as assistant to caretaker boss Grazioli as the Bees' makeshift management team oversaw their dramatic escape from relegation. Grazioli is now number two to new manager Lawrie Sanchez and Uddin, who has a year left on his Underhill contract, is concentrating on getting fit for pre-season. Grazioli said:" He was a great help to me in my time in charge. He is well respected by the players and a qualified coach."
