Former Newcastle United defender Titus Bramble has joined Accra Hearts of Oak's technical team as guest coach.

Bramble will work with the club's defenders as they seek to improve the quality of the players before the return of the domestic topflight league.

The ex-Sunderland defender is joined by former Fulham defender Simon Milton, who are going to be working with the Accra based club.

Hearts of Oak head coach, Kim Grant, who started work officially this week has been preparing the boys with some rigorous physical training.

"Former @Newcastle and @England defender, @19tmb, will be joining us as a guest coach next week to work with our defenders . Titus and former Ipswich player, @milts25, are in Ghana doing fantastic work with @futurestars15 ," Hearts posted on Twitter.
