Bristol Rovers have announced John Ward has returned to the club for a second spell as manager.

The 61-year-old, who was most recently in charge of npower League One outfit Colchester, was previously at Rovers for a three-year spell from 1993 to 1996.

The Pirates appointed Ward after sacking Mark McGhee on Saturday following a 4-1 defeat at York, which left them with just one win in their last 11 games.
