Bart joins the club with an excellent coaching background and a clear vision for developing young players, making him an outstanding appointment to lead our U23s programme forward.

We are equally pleased that last season’s manager, Nick Mingay, will remain involved with the squad as Assistant Manager, ensuring valuable continuity and experience within the setup. Joining them on the coaching staff will be Zach Slane, whose enthusiasm and coaching qualities will further strengthen the team.

Director of Football Daren Hayward said:

“This is a real step forward for our Under-23s programme. It was important for us to keep Nick involved, given the work he has done with the group, and we’re delighted that he will continue to play a key role. Bart brings excellent coaching ability and a wealth of knowledge, and we’re excited to see the impact he will have on our young players. We’re also looking forward to welcoming Zach into the coaching setup, where his energy and commitment will be a real asset to the squad.”

Please join us in welcoming Bart, Nick and Zach to the U23s coaching team. We wish them every success for the season ahead.
