Joseph joins Rovers

April 21st 2023FGR Media

Forest Green Rovers are delighted to announce the appointment of Joseph Manns as Head of Women's and Girls' Football.

Manns becomes the club's first ever full-time Head of Women's and Girls' Football - a sign of Forest Green's long-term commitment to the women's game.

Manns has been working at FGR Academy as a Sessional Coach, which he will continue to do alongside his new role.

He has experience working at Championship side Reading, coaching their youth teams before becoming Recruitment Coordinator for the men's first team.

His career so far has also taken him abroad, with experience at Danish side Sønderjyske Fodbold and the Football Foundation of South Africa.

On the appointment of Manns, Club Chairman, Dale Vince, said: "At Forest Green Rovers, we have a strong women's team and flourishing development squads, with over 120 girls and women regularly training.

"We are looking forward to Joseph getting stuck in and building on the women's recent successes. He will be creating more youth teams to ensure that we offer even more, good quality football opportunities for women and girls in Stroud and the surrounding areas."

We'd like to thank Tom Needham for managing the team on an interim basis this season, culminating in Thursday night's fantastic GFA Trophy Final win over Pucklechurch.
