Howe signs Blake
Manager Eddie Howe has added to his backroom staff with the appointments of coach Jason Blake and scout Bryan Glover. Blake is set to work alongside Howe and Jason Tindall, the assistant manager, but will have particular emphasis working with the younger players and reserve teams. He worked previously with Howe at Bournemouth and has also worked for both Southampton and Reading. Howe said: "He's someone I'm delighted to bring to the club. He will bring enthusiasm and dedication to the job, so hopefully it will be the start of an exciting time for him. He has had the experience of running the centre of excellence at Bournemouth and he was a big part of the team down there. "Jason's main strengths are working with young players and developing them. The young professionals will be his working area and he will hopefully be developing future players for the club." The second appointment is Bryan Glover who has been with from West Ham. "Bryan has a long history in the game and worked for a long time at West Ham," Howe said. "He played a huge role in bringing through many of their excellent young players. He was part of their successes so again we are delighted to have him on board as part of the team. "Scouting and recruitment is an area we are working very hard to improve. Tim [Henderson] works extremely hard and to add another one to that team will benefit him and the club going forward."
