NEW COACHING STAFF FOR THE OPEN AGE |
09.11.23
We are delighted to announce the coaching staff for the 2024
season.
Firstly, in an exciting and pioneering partnership, Tom
Megretton and John Nunns will share first team head coach
responsibilities. Stanley Rangers stalwart John Nunns brings a
wealth of interpersonal and people leadership skills to the
coaching staff. He's an unwavering loyalty to Stanley and will
be phoenomenal for us moving forward. In partnership with John,
Tom excelled in his role as assistant last year and has
continued to demonstrate an ability to nurture performance and
to build a club-wide culture that we're proud of. The two are
the absolute right people to take us into the YML premier in
2024.
Working alongside Tom and John will be last year's Under 16s
coach Chris Molyneux, who joins the Open Age coaching team as an
assistant coach. Chris brings a wealth of rugby league
experience and will be super important for youth development.
The success of last year U16s is a large part down to Chris'
understanding of the game, and his ability to get the best out
of people.
And completing the line-up, last
year's assistant John McDermott will take up the role of Head of
Reserves team. John is a proven coach, and his understanding of
the amateur game is outstanding. He's absolutely the right
person to create the important environment for the Reserves Team
so everybody involved can benefit.
These four have already started the work required to make
sure 2024 will be another outstanding year as we prepare for
the challenge of the YML Premier Division.
