One of the heroes of the Town’s return to the EFL as Conference champions 10 years ago, and scorer of the goal that knocked Wolves out of the FA Cup in 2013, Lawless returned to Kenilworth Road two years ago after his first coaching role with Leyton Orient’s youth team.
The former midfielder was initially assistant to Alan McCormack with the Under-18s before taking charge himself last summer when the Irishman moved up to the first team.
With Adrian Forbes departing to join newly-formed American club Texoma FC, Lawless stepped up to a new role as Senior Professional Development Coach and Loans Manager.
