FLEETWOOD APPOINT GRAYSON

League One side Fleetwood have appointed Simon Grayson as permanent manager on a “long-term” contract.

The ex-Preston and Blackpool boss took over from Joey Barton in January and steered them away from immediate danger from relegation to League Two.

His assistant – the ex-Blackburn player David Dunn – has also signed a new deal at the club.
