Millwall have appointed Kevin Nugent as their new Under-23 manager.

Nugent, who has been an assistant coach at Leyton Orient and Charlton in recent years, will work alongside Millwall boss Neil Harris and David Livermore.

The 48-year-old left the Valley in February to take charge of League Two side Barnet. But he was sacked after just two months.

Harris said: “I’m delighted to welcome Kevin to the club.

“He has a wealth of experience in both academy and first-team football and both Scott Fitzgerald [academy director] and I felt he was the perfect person to take up this position.

“Kevin will come in and help oversee the development of what is a talented group of players with a view to more and more becoming regular first-team players for the future.”
