Tottenham Hotspur have appointed Wayne Burnett as the new head coach of their under-23s, succeeding the late Ugo Ehiogu, who died in April following a cardiac arrest.

Burnett's last managerial role was in charge of then-League Two club Dagenham & Redbridge, where he spent two-and-a-half years from February 2013 to December 2015. He has been working as the Football Association's national coach developer for the past year.

The 45-year-old former Huddersfield and Grimsby midfielder has previously managed Dulwich Hamlet, Grays and Fisher Athletic (twice), and spent a spell as a youth team coach at Leyton Orient.
