Former Wigan midfielder Andy Liddell has joined the Town staff as fitness coach, replacing Antonio Gomez, who left the club during pre-season to return to Spain. Liddell, 38, played under Blues boss Paul Jewell during his time as manager of the Latics.
Jewell said: "I've known Andy for a long time and I'm delighted he has agreed to join us. He will be a valuable addition to the staff here."
Leeds-born Liddell, a former Scotland U21 international, also played for Barnsley, Sheffield United, Bradford Park Avenue, Oldham and Rotherham and was a Millers' coach and then caretaker-manager until the summer when he briefly joined Harrogate Railway Athletic in a player-coach capacity.
When Liddell retired as a Rotherham player a year ago, he said he was looking for a job just like his new position at Town: "I've just finished studying a degree in Elite Sports Performance, which is a bit of everything really, from nutrition and performance to psychology, so hopefully I can use that plus my coaching badges that I've already got.
"I want to get into some sort of coaching or fitness role, but you just need to get that opportunity just like when you start out playing as a youngster."
Liddell, who holds a UEFA B coaching licence, was a member of Jewell's 2002/03 Second Division (now League One) championship-winning side.
