Farnley Falcons seek new Open Age coach

Farnley Falcons seek new Open Age coach

Applications are now open for the position of joint Head Coach...

Farnley Falcons, one of West Yorkshire's fastest-growing clubs, are on the lookout for a new Open Age Coach.

The Falcons, part of the Yorkshire Men's League, were founded in 2005 and now host teams across six different age groups, including their thriving Open Age set-up.

Current Head Coach Dan Nicholson has overseen a healthy recruitment drive over the last 18 months, while his side enjoyed a six-month unbeaten run earlier in 2016, but the Falcons are now on the lookout for a new addition to share the role of Head Coach with Nicholson.


Club Secretary Graeme Pattenden said: "We are pleased to be opening applications for the role of joint Open Age Head Coach.

"Dan has laid the foundations for a successful team, and we believe the addition of a new coach will help take us to the next level.

"With an average age of just 22, the majority of our Open Age side have already played over three seasons together, while recent recruits have only added to our belief that we are well set for a strong future in the Yorkshire Men's League.

"We are excited to start the search for the right person to help take this team forward."

Duties will include helping with team selection, training once a week and helping manage the team on matchdays.

Farnley, who hit headlines earlier this year after signing former England and Leeds Rhinos winger Mark Calderwood, will begin pre-season in late January.

To apply for the role, email a formal expression of interest and details of your previous coaching experience to Tom Staniland: thomas_staniland@hotmail.co.uk.
