West Brom boss Pulis adds close pal to coaching staff

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis has added Mark O'Connor to his coaching staff.

O'Connor was asked to stay with the Potters when Pulis left in the summer of 2013, but he eventually joined Bristol City to lead their academy.

Pulis said: "Mark's worked with me, I played with him at Bournemouth and took him to Gillingham and he has followed me around.

"He knows me and I know him, he's a good coach.

"Technically he'll be very good for the younger players and the forward work. He is good at doing the forward work."
