Former Tottenham, Newcastle and Portsmouth coach leaves Joey Barton's staff at Bristol Rovers

Bristol Rovers have confirmed that coach Kevin Bond has left the club after 14 months as part of Joey Barton’s backroom staff.

Bond has been notably absent from the dugout for the last month, and hasn't been seen at The Quarters either, with Barton bringing in another assistant coach over the summer in Danny Ventre, to work alongside the manager and No2 Andy Mangan.

On Sunday morning, Rovers released a joint-statement from Bond and Barton, with two first working together at QPR 10 years ago, indicating the decision has been a mutual one.
