Bogie has made two new appointments to his coaching team

Gateshead boss Ian Bogie has brought in former Newcastle coach Adam Sadler as his assistant following the departure of ex-colleague Jeff Wrightson.

Sadler, 30, previously worked with Glenn Roeder at Norwich City, and linked up with Blyth Spartans boss Mick Tait in Blue Square North last season.

Paul Bryson, 46, joins the club as reserve team coach.

Bogie will work with Sadler on a full-time basis, while Bryson has agreed a part-time deal at the club.

"Adam is a highly regarded coach and one of the few in the region that has the full Uefa Pro Licence necessary to manage in the Premier League," said Bogie.

"As a Gateshead lad and a key man at Gateshead College, Paul Bryson was the natural choice to manage our new reserve side."

Gateshead are set to become a full-time outfit this season, having spent the first season in the Blue Square Premier as a semi-professional side.
