Kevin will also oversee the academy, an integral part of the club’s future plans, with the intention to improve the standards across all aspects of the academy and to ensure integration of academy players into the first team in the future.

Kevin has a successful background, in both football and business, which will bring fresh knowledge, experience and energy that can only help the club move forward. Football wise he has enjoyed success developing, managing, and coaching at all levels of football and spent several years working with Shrewsbury Town Academy.
