West Ham boss Moyes welcomes Heitinga to coaching staff

West Ham United have added three new coaches to the staff of manager David Moyes.

The club have officially announced the appointments of John Heitinga, Mark Robson and Henry Newman as first-team assistants.

Billy McKinlay, Kevin Nolan and goalkeeping coach Xavi Valero are the other members of Moyes' staff for this season.

Speaking to club media, manager Moyes said: “I would like to welcome John to West Ham United and also welcome Mark and Henry into the first-team group.

“John is someone I have known for a long time. He has gained some very good experience since beginning his coaching career in the Ajax Academy and working his way up to their first-team. Mark and Henry are both already familiar to everyone here at the Club and have deserved the opportunity to step up within our structure.

“John, Mark and Henry will each bring experience in different areas and complement the strengths we already have in the coaching team alongside Billy, Kevin and Xavi. I look forward to working with them and building on the positive start we have made to the new season."
