Rob Edwards rejoins Wolverhampton Wanderers as the new head coach of their Under-23s side.

Rob Edwards has returned to Wolverhampton Wanderers as the coach of the Under-23s squad.

Edwards was interim manager of the first team two years ago, having made 111 appearances for the club as a player between 2004 and 2008.

The 35-year-old left AFC Telford United in May after just one season, leading them to a 14th-placed finish in National League North.

"Rob Edwards has come through a recruitment process and we are delighted to welcome him back to the club, as our Under-23 lead coach," Wolves academy boss Gareth Prosser told reporters.

"He will be assisted by Sean Parrish and the rest of the performance team and will be tasked with leading the Under-23s on a daily basis. Rob has the development of players at the heart of everything he does.

"I am sure he will fit back into the club very quickly to continue the development of our young players. There is no doubt the standard of football at this club has risen in the last 12 months and we all have the responsibility to ensure our players hit these new standards."

Edwards had five Wolves players on loan at Telford last campaign, including Aaron Hayden and Aaron Simpson.
