Plymouth manager Paul Sturrock is hoping to further strengthen his backroom team following the recent arrival of Paul Mariner.

With Kevin Summerfield and John Blackley leaving the Championship club, Sturrock lured former Pilgrims striker Mariner back to Home Park as head coach and now wants to add another member to his coaching staff.

Sturrock told the club`s official website: "I am meeting some of the powers-that-be in London and it`s one of the main topics I will be discussing."

He added: "We are one light and, with the [squad] body count we have, I would like to bring in somebody else to have three of us working very hard together."
