Frank
Sinclair has been appointed head of coaching development at League Two club
Port Vale.
The former Chelsea, Leicester and Burnley defender has been given the
responsibility of "bridging the gap between the younger players and first
team".
Sinclair has had management roles at Colwyn Bay, Brackley Town (caretaker)
and Hednesford Town.
He also assisted with Stoke's U23's before joining Port Vale in a coaching
capacity earlier this year.
"I'm delighted to be here. My first impressions are that I love the set up.
It's obviously a very family-orientated club, a community club, and I like
that because there's a synergy between all the departments," Sinclair told
Port Vale's club website.
"Obviously, I see a key part of my role as bridging the gap between the
younger players and the first team. I want to bring them on and help them to
feel closer to the first team players so that they understand that if they
work hard and show the right attitude the gaffer (John Askey) can take a
look at them. I want to give them the confidence to feel that someday they
can break through."
