Danny Boshell has returned to Nethermoor and will be in his new role when Guiseley travel to North Ferriby United for tomorrow night’s Skrill North clash.
Manager Mark Bower has been looking to appoint an assistant and has turned to the 32-year-old midfielder as assistant player-manager.
Boshell made almost a century of appearances for the Lions in a three-year spell before a fall out with former manager Steve Kittrick led to his departure.
He comes back to the club after a short spell at Lee Sinnott’s Altrincham. He agreed his release from the Moss Lane outfit - league rivals of Guiseley - after Bower’s approach and is looking forward to his first coaching role.
Boshell will be in the dug out for tomorrow night’s game as the number two but he may not be on the teamsheet.
That will depend on confirmation from the league that his transfer from Altrincham has gone through in time.
The Lions bagged their first point under former Bradford City skipper Bower on Saturday with a 1-1 home draw against Histon.
They are, however, still in the relegation zone, while North Ferriby are third in the table, despite a 2-0 defeat at AFC Telford United at the weekend.
