Speaking to www.bedfordeagles.net, manager Jon Taylor said: “We are really looking forward to Gordon working alongside the other members of the management team. He will help improve our work ethic and professionalism, both at training and on a match day. I am sure he will be relishing the opportunity to help us improve on and off the pitch, as much as he possibly can.

“Gordon will assist head of coaching Paul Benson with improving players on the training ground, focusing on position specifics and the team’s shape in and out of possession. He will also generate opposition team reports, giving us key insights into sides we will be facing. He will be a very valuable asset to my management team, and we will use his knowledge and experience in the game to continue moving the club forward in the right direction.”

Meanwhile, the Eagles have also announced the signing of Ebby Nelson-Addy.

The 26-year old midfielder joins from league rivals Cambridge City.
