Long-time coach Andrew Clay has joined the coaching staff of Northern League club West Coast Rangers ahead of next season’s campaign.
Clay (55) leaves Northern Rovers, where he has been an assistant coach, and he’ll take up a similar role at Rangers.
Announcing his move, Rangers said: “Andy has been around top-level football for a while and is a wealth of knowledge so we look forward to his experience helping the club through the season.”
Clay, who holds an OFC/NZF A Licence, has been a successful women’s coach, leading Glenfield Rovers to three Kate Sheppard Cup victories (2014, 2015, 2017) and coaching national league side Northern Lights.
Northern Rovers, who were previously coached by Paul Gothard, have appointed Daniel Donegan as head coach for their 2024 Lotto NRFL Men’s Championship side.
