Former Town defender Mark Venus was delighted to be appointed play-coach at Tony Mowbray's Hibernian this morning. The 37-year-old left Town last summer after six years with the club.
Venus said: "I've known Tony for seven years now since our Ipswich Town days as team-mates.
"We had then and still do have a close working relationship and I am delighted to have been given the chance to join Tony at Hibernian Football Club.
"Tony is a young ambitious manager and I am looking forward to be working as first-team coach to improve the strengths and weaknesses of our players."
Mogga welcomed his former central defensive partner to the Edinburgh club: "I am delighted that Mark has agreed to join us at Easter Road.
"I know what his strengths are and I know that they will compliment my own.
"He has a good knowledge of the game and will bring a lot to the club.
"I mentioned when I was appointed that the sort of person I wanted to work with had to spark my thirst for knowledge, someone who has the same thirst for the game that I have. Mark fits that profile and much more besides."
