Ex-Town star Frank Yallop has landed himself a new job. The US-based former full-back has been named Head Coach of the San Jose Earthquakes.

Yallop was previously at Tampa Bay Mutiny as a player and most recently was a coach at DC United. Yallop said: "I'm just so happy right now. I'm glad they've given me this opportunity. I can't wait to get started."

Recently Yallop sent over a couple of young American players to train with Town in order to gain experience. This is part of a scheme run by MLS in association with English clubs.
