Lee St Hilaire, Paul Medley and Stuart Duffy have agreed to return to the Bulls on a paid basis as the club begins to take shape under new owners Omar Khan and Gerry Sutcliffe.

The key trio were made redundant by administrator Brendan Guilfoyle in July but subsequently returned to work on a voluntary basis for the rest of the season.

Their loyalty has now been rewarded, with St Hilaire having agreed a deal to take his old job as assistant coach and become right-hand man to new boss Francis Cummins.

Medley will resume his position as head of youth and long-serving football and media manager Duffy has also accepted an offer to take up his old job.
