SWFC Announces new coaches for 26/27 season

NEW ERA AT SWFC: CLAIRE AND SIMON ARMSTRONG HEADLINE FRESH COACHING SETUP

Skipton Women Football Club (SWFC) are thrilled to officially announce an exciting new coaching setup ahead of the upcoming campaign, ushering in a fresh chapter for both the first team and the development squad.

Leading the charge as the new First Team Manager is Claire Armstrong, who arrives alongside Simon Armstrong as First Team Coach. The pair make the move following a highly successful tenure at Ilkley Town. Their arrival brings immediate ambition and high standards as SWFC set their sights on a strong campaign.

The exciting overhaul extends to the development team, with the appointment of Chris as the new Development Team Coach. Bringing a wealth of experience and a strong track record in player progression, Chris will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the development setup and the first squad.

Speaking on the appointments, the club expressed immense optimism for what lies ahead:

"We are absolutely delighted to welcome Claire, Simon, and Chris to the club. The level of success Claire and Simon achieved at Ilkley Town speaks for itself, and pairing that with Chris’s deep experience with our development group puts us in a fantastic position. There is a huge buzz around the ground, and we can’t wait for the new season to officially get underway."

With pre-season preparations well underway and a renewed energy across all squads, the Mighty Whites are primed and ready for a great start to the new season.
