Oldham Athletic have reappointed Tommy Wright as the club's assistant manager, five years after he left the club.

Wright was taken to Boundary Park by former boss John Sheridan in 2006 and stayed for three years before the pair left to take over at Chesterfield.

Oldham manager Lee Johnson worked with Wright while playing for the Spireites.

"He's a good guy," Johnson told Oldham's official website. "Everyone knows him and likes him here, he's got an affinity with the club and I'm looking forward to working with him."

Wright made 124 appearances for Oldham during two spells with the club as a player.
