Milan Pidgley
Milan was a player we coached at the start of his journey when he was 9 and now grown up to have an interest in the coaching aspect of the game and experiencing developing players just like he was.
He continues to play and enjoy the game having spent a number of years competing at grassroots in the area we now coach.
Just like our goalkeepers we look forward to watching him grow and develop his coaching with us.
