Livingston have appointed Curtis Fleming as assistant manager of the First Division club.
Fleming has extensive experience as a youth coach
The 38-year-old former Middlesbrough and Republic of Ireland defender will work alongside former team-mate and new Livi manager Mark Proctor.
He was a youth coach at Boro after a playing career including spells at Birmingham, Shelbourne and Darlington.
Fleming told the club website: "I'm delighted to be joining Livingston at an exciting time for the club."
He was looking forward to his new role with the West Lothian club and working with Proctor.

"Mark is an excellent coach and he will be a great manager for the club," said Fleming.
"We have an exciting challenge in the First Division this season and I'm looking forward to working with the players and getting to know everyone around the stadium."
Proctor said his assistant would help to get the best out of the playing squad at Almondvale as the club aim for promotion.
"Curtis took on youth coaching at Middlesbrough while I was at Hibernian last year and we started talking seriously about linking up again after I was appointed at Livingston," said Proctor.
"Curtis is a hard worker who gets the best out of those around him and that's an important skill for an assistant manager.
"I'm sure we'll combine to make an excellent team, along with everybody else here at Almondvale."
