Ex-Bristol Rovers defender Steve Yates has taken up a new role as coach and recruitment consultant at the club.
Boss Darrell Clarke has restructured his backroom staff to improve the club's scouting system.
Clarke said: "Since taking over as manager, the club has been operating without a chief scout.
"And, while we have a few scouts undertaking match reports on our opponents, I want to build up a long-term recruitment policy.
"We have already established excellent links with a number of Premier League and Championship sides, with regard to identifying suitable under-21 players for loans or transfer.
"Steve's role will involve him in taking a look at those players in training and in games, and also watching a number of non-League games to identify players who might be able to make the step up to League football.
"He will continue with his coaching duties and I am delighted that he has accepted this new and challenging role.
"It's been a pleasure to work alongside Steve. He is a colleague I can trust impeccably and I look forward to continuing our excellent working relationship."
Yates, who played for Rovers from 1988-93, relinquishes his kit manager duties this weekend. He said: "I am pleased to accept this new position and am looking forward to the challenge of assisting with the recruitment of new players who can help take us forward."
Former Rovers youth team player Marco Carota is the new kit manager with immediate effect. He played alongside Yates in the same Rovers youth side.
And Clarke said: "I am pleased to welcome Marco to the club and I'm sure he will prove to be an asset to our backroom team.
"I was impressed with his interview and his eagerness and enthusiasm to return to the club he played for as a youngster and one he still supports."
Carota said: "It's great to be back at Rovers as I always hoped I would be able to return at some point. I am looking forward to working with Darrell and his staff."
