DALLAS - The Dallas Burn announced today that Steve Morrow and Brian Haynes have been named Assistant Coaches for the squad. "We're thrilled to be able to add two quality soccer men to our coaching staff in Steve and Brian," said Burn President and General Manager Greg Elliott. "They bring a wealth of experience to the team from both a playing and coaching standpoint. Additionally, we've had a great deal of change within the organization over the last few months and this move enables us to establish some continuity. Both Steve and Brian are very familiar with the team as well as the league and will be vital additions to the coaching staff."

Morrow, 33, spent the last two years as a defender for the Burn before retiring near the end of the 2003 season due to a neck injury. Morrow brings a wealth of experience to the coaching staff from his storied playing career. Prior to joining the Burn in 2002, Morrow, who has 39 caps with the Northern Ireland National Team, spent the previous four years with Queens Park Rangers in the first division in England. His stint with QPR followed a ten-year career with Arsenal of the Premiership, beginning his professional career with the Gunners at the age of 17. While with Arsenal, he was a mainstay in a lineup that won the FA Cup and the League Cup in 1993, the European Cup Winners Cup in 1995 and advanced to the finals of the Cup Winners Cup in 1996. Morrow scored the game-winning goal in the 1993 League Cup Final.

Haynes, 41, is beginning his third year on the coaching staff after spending four-plus years as a midfielder with the Burn, scoring eight goals while adding six assists. Prior to joining the Burn, Haynes, who holds a Class "A" coaching license, played indoor for the Kansas City Attack and outdoor with the Orlando Lions, the Maryland Bays, the Colorado Foxes and won a championship with the Seattle Sounders in 1995.
