The Bulls have brought in Dave Kevan to assist with the coaching at Edgar Street.
The 42 year old Scot was assistant boss at Notts County when Russell Hoult was a player there but was axed along with boss Craig Short in October. He moved on to Stockport in early December to assist boss Paul Simpson but left the club in the wake of Simpson's departure.
As a player he spent most of his career with Notts County and Stoke before retiring and moving into coaching, and went on to assistant manager roles with Stoke and Burnley before returning to Meadow Lane.
