Sussex bowler Mark Robinson has been promoted to club coach following Peter Moores' elevation to director of cricket.

The medium-pacer, who was assistant coach last season, will be given new responsibilities and provide greater support to Moores.

Chairman David Green said: "Peter was appointed director of cricket over six weeks ago but we awaited the end of the season in order to set up a properly integrated cricket and coaching department under his direct control."

"This will have the depth and flexibility of personnel in order that Peter can continue to be hands-on with the first XI during the season.

"With this in mind Mark Robinson is confirmed as club coach."
