CHESTERFIELD APPOINTED AS CARDIFF CITY ACADEMY MANAGER

He is a UEFA Pro License holder and will officially start his role on November 14th, leaving Barry Town United. "This feels like the perfect opportunity for me, as I know a lot of people at the club having worked with and supported the education of several coaches including those currently supporting the First Team, Academy, Women ' s sides and foundation " .

“For me, it is about providing the best life experiences and learning opportunities that we can. All of those things come into the mix when developing players from a holistic perspective and I think you can say the same thing too when it comes to staff development. “When you have player development and staff development coming together then it makes for a positive culture and an exciting place to work and that is what I’ m hoping to bring to the table. “There is nothing quite like watching a player come through and make their debut. It’ s a very difficult feeling to replicate and I can ’t wait to get started and help shape the future generation of Cardiff City players. ”
