We know that he is a highly respected coach, and in the interview process, he impressed us with his desire to improve and develop players while creating an aggressive, attacking style of play that we believe will be successful in League One and excite our fans at the LNER Stadium.
"We believe that Mark can flourish within our structure and help to create the culture and environment to maximise the potential of our squad.”
