Ian Crook has joined Newcastle Jets as high performance manager, the club said.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Norwich City midfielder brings an abundance of experience to the defending A-League Champions, having made over 400 appearances as a professional player, as well as spending almost a decade in top flight coaching in Australia and Japan.
Crook, 45, is a former coach of Newcastle United in the old National Soccer League competition and has now returned to the Hunter after spells as assistant coach at Sydney FC in the inaugural season of the A-League and Avispa Fukuoka in Japan.
Crook's role will encompass a variety of responsibilities, with a predominant focus on youth development.
The current agreement will see the English-born coach stay on board with the Jets for three years.
