SALTIRES star Richie Berrington has been named as Greenock�s new coach.

All-rounder Berrington, who last year turned down a move to Leicestershire, replaces Tony Judd at the helm and will continue to play for the Glenpark club.

A club spokesman said: �The experience Richie has gained as an extremely important member of the Scottish Saltires should stand him in good stead for this important position.�

Greenock have also announced the signing of South African Mpho Sekhoto as professional.

The 30 year-old Easterns batsman will join Berrington in spearheading Greenock�s Western Premier Division campaign.
