Former Town defender Christophe Berra has been appointed the assistant coach at MLS Next Pro side Huntsville City FC. 

They play in the third tier in the United States and are the reserve team of MLS side Nashville SC, having only formed in July 2022. 

The Alabama-based side missed out in the play-offs as they finished ninth in the Eastern Conference in their inaugural season.

Berra links up with a former Town player in Jack Collison, who was appointed their first-ever head coach in January last year.
