We are pleased to welcome back Graeme Atkinson to Halswell United in early April.

Graeme previously coached the club’s Men’s First Team in 2015 and will be returning to reconnect with the club and spend time with our coaches and players.

Since returning to England, Graeme has been involved with Preston North End as Head of Education as a UEFA B License Coach, also as current Chairman of the PNE former Player Players Association and is the Football Lead of PNE Womens Girls Pathway, which is the league below the Womens Premier League in England.

During his visit Graeme will attend a number of training sessions and matches, run a coach connect session for academy and interested club coaches, and deliver an academy session and presentation for players. Graeme will also attend Men’s First Team matches during his stay and connect with members across the club.

We look forward to having Graeme back involved with Halswell United and sharing his experience with our players and coaching group.
