The Club is pleased to confirm the appointment of Rob Burch as our new Goalkeeping Coach.
Burch arrives from the Football Association having worked this year with the England U16s and U20s teams.
The 35-year-old came through the Spurs academy in his playing days, taking in a number of loan spells before a permanent switch to Sheffield Wednesday.
He then joined Lincoln City in 2008 and went on to make close to 100 appearances across two seasons for the Imps, winning the club’s player of the season award in 2009/10.
Burch spent the subsequent two seasons at Notts County before hanging up his gloves, later joining Spurs Academy as Head of Academy Goalkeepers where he also coached for the under-18s and worked alongside Scott Parker during the 2017/18 season. He also worked with Spurs’ first team coaching staff and first team goalkeepers during his time there.
Fulham FC Head Coach, Scott Parker, said: “Rob is a coach full of energy and enthusiasm who is passionate about developing and improving goalkeepers. He is a great addition to our backroom team and I, along with the rest of my staff, look forward to working with him here at Fulham.”
The Club can also confirm today the departure of Paolo Orlandoni. We thank him for his work and wish him all the very best for the future.
