The former England international replaces Michael Duff.

Former England midfielder Steve Stone has been appointed manager of Burnley Under-23s after Michael Duff left the position to take charge of Cheltenham.

Stone played for Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Portsmouth and Leeds and was capped nine times by England in the mid-1990s, while he spent five years as a coach at Newcastle before being released in 2015.

The 47-year-old has become Burnley's lead U23 professional development coach, succeeding former Northern Ireland international Duff, who ended his 14-year association at the club in September.

Stone said: "I think this role suits me perfectly for what I've done in the past with my coaching.

"It's one that excites me as well, from the way Burnley are going with the first team, the way the training ground is set up and the way the young players are starting to develop and come through.

"They have definitely progressed over the past couple of years to where they are now."
