The Club is able to confirm some changes to our Academy leadership structure.
Sean Cullen has been appointed Academy Director. In addition, Steve Wigley has been appointed to a newly created role as Academy Technical Director. The Club believes that this new structure will enable the Academy to progress and be as competitive as possible moving forward.
Sean's new role will see him become the leader for the Academy’s; governance, football administration, education, player care, and sports medicine & exercise science.
Before joining Fulham, Sean worked as a teacher at Coombe Boys' School and managed the partnership it had with our Academy. He was initially the Club's Education Manager, before working closely with Mike Cave as Academy Manager.
As for Steve, he will oversee the club's Academy football philosophy, coaching, performance insights and player recruitment.
Steve has enjoyed plenty of success at Fulham. After coaching our Under-18s to back-to-back league titles, he led the Under-21s to the PL2 Division Two title within his first season.
After the appointment, Huw Jennings commented: "We are delighted to announce Sean and Steve's promotions. They individually bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, which combined presents an exciting prospect for the future of our Academy."
