Former Imp and Forest man joins Rotherham's coaching staff

Former Lincoln City loanee Nicky Eaden has joined Rotherham's coaching staff ahead of their trip to Sincil Bank on Friday night. The right back joined City on loan from Nottingham Forest three times in the 2006/7 season, but didn't overly impress.

Eaden became a rarity as he became a three-time Imp after three separate loan spells in the 2006/7 season. He signed on loan from Nottingham Forest but failed to impress in any of the three spells. He went on to play for Kettering and would later be assistant manager at Peterborough United.

Following Ronnie Moore leaving the club by mutual consent, Rotherham's three caretaker managers have bought in Eaden to given them a defensive coaching approach.

"I've played with Nicky at Barnsley at Wigan so I know him really well," caretaker manager Andy Liddell told Rotherham's official website. "He has played in every tier of English football and played at some big clubs, so he will bring knowledge and experience. Myself and Paul Warne are obviously very attack minded, whereas Nicky will be more suited to working with the defence. He is excited about the challenge and it raring to go."
