Sellars steps into Blues under-21s role
Blues have appointed Scott Sellars as their new under-21s head coach. The former Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers winger replaces Mark Kennedy, who exited the club in February. Sellars, 60, has vast experience in youth development football, as well at first team level.

Promotion hero back at Blues
Blues promotion hero Darren Carter is back at the club. The former midfielder has been appointed Academy transition, loan and player development manager. He will primarily be responsible for placing Blues brightest young talents on appropriate loans as part of establishing a loans programme for Under-18s – Under-21s.
