Former Manchester United midfielder Jonathon Greening has returned to his first club, York City, to take up a post with their youth academy.

The 35 year old, whose playing career also took him to Middlesbrough, Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Nottingham Forest, had been coaching at Forest last season, under Billy Davies.

Having acquired his UEFA B and A licenses, he will now work on helping the Minstermen produce more stars like himself.

"It's back to where it all began and I am looking forward to helping the young kids get better and trying to get some of them into the first team," Greening said.

"I am taking over as youth team manager and helping Andy McMillan and Richard Cresswell to produce the next batch of good players.

"It will be the 16 to 18-year-old age group and focusing on their development and making them better players and better people.

"It's not just the football skills, it's the whole thing. I think that's why I made it in the game.

"I had a good youth team manager who instilled some good discipline into us all. It helped me become a better player."
