Fulham Football Club has today announced the appointment of Huw Jennings as its Academy Director.
Formerly Academy Manager at Southampton Football Club, during which time he saw a 16 year-old Theo Walcott make his First Team debut, Huw has been with the F.A. Premier League as its Youth Development Manager since 2006.
Huw will join Fulham in a full time capacity by the end of the year.
Alistair Mackintosh, Chief Executive at Fulham Football Club commented:
‘I am delighted that we have been able to persuade Huw to join us help drive the revolution at our Academy. It is our aim to make Fulham’s Academy one of the most successful and progressive in the country.
‘Huw’s credentials at both Southampton FC, and more recently at the Premier League, are impeccable. We believe with his expertise, along with the recent promotions of Gary Brazil and Lee Hagger and the efforts of their excellent colleagues, that we are fully equipped to progress our Academy at pace.’
