Goalkeeper coach Andy Warrington leaves Rotherham United
Andy Warrington has left his post as goalkeeper coach at Rotherham United, ending an association with the club dating back nearly 20 years.
The former stopper was appointed last March after Matt Hamshaw took up the manager’s role and had stayed on after Hamshaw’s dismissal three months ago.
Announcing Warrington’s departure, the club said it was part of a restructuring of the first team staff.
It was his second stint as a coach at AESSEAL New York Stadium, having also worked on the coaching staff during Paul Warne’s successful time in charge.
Warrington was a survivor the club’s Millmoor and Don Valley Stadium days, originally joining in 2007 and making more than 200 appearances in goal.
A popular figure, he was also a League Two promotion winner under Steve Evans during the Millers’ first season at the NYS.
Warrington went into goalkeeping coaching with Grimsby Town after his playing career ended and schooled young stoppers at Lincoln City.
He hooked up with Warne at Rotherham in 2019 as part of his backroom team and again when Warne moved to Derby County.
On his third stint with the Millers Warrington initially helped Hamshaw in the day-to-day running of the operation as well as coaching the keepers.
Rotherham United said Andy Warrington leaves “with the utmost respect of everyone here and with our thanks and very best wishes for the future”.
The appointment of a head coach to work under new Head of Football Steve McClaren has still to be made.
