Rovers bring in Coyne

Tranmere Rovers have snapped up Wales international Danny Coyne on a free transfer.

Coyne has signed a two-year contract at Prenton Park after being released by Burnley at the end of last season.

The 33-year-old keeper had been linked with the likes of Leeds United and Norwich City, but has opted for a deal with Tranmere.

"Danny is a top-quality international goalkeeper who is well known to everyone at the club," Rovers boss Ronnie Moore told the club's official website.

"I honestly believe we've got the best goalkeeper in League One with the signing of Danny."

Meanwhile, Moore has appointed former Sheffield Wednesday defender, and Mansfield Town boss, Peter Shirtliff as his assistant.

Moore has also given out one-year contracts to youngsters Mike Jones, Paul Henry, Michael Johnston and Danny Holmes.
