Hinton joins Pirates` staff

Northampton defender Craig Hinton has left the club to take up the role of assistant manager at Bristol Rovers. Hinton has been out of favour at Sixfields all season and will now help out Rovers manager Stuart Campbell until the end of the season. The former defender, who made over 150 appearances for Rovers between 2004 and 2009, joins the club with immediate effect and will be in the dugout when the squad travel to Notts County on Saturday.
