Former Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope says he is "excited" by a new challenge after joining the staff at Championship club Luton Town.
Gas hero Trollope, who steered Rovers to promotion in 2006/07 via an epic play-off final win at Wembley, was named joint-assistant manager to new Hatters boss Rob Edwards on Thursday. The 50-year-old will work alongside Richie Kyle to support Edwards after he was named as Nathan Jones' successor at Kenilworth Road.
Trollope's playing career spanned almost two decades, making more almost 500 appearances across spells at Torquay United, Derby County and others before being named player-manager at the Mem in 2005, working alongside director of football Lennie Lawrence. The pair masterminded promotion to the third tier and the Gas consolidated their place in League One over the following seasons before Trollope left the club in 2010.
