AFTER the news last week that Bradford City Women had put their reserve management team in place for next season, with Mannaan Mehmood and James Wright, they are now focusing on the first team.

They need a first team coach to work alongside current boss Chris Hames going into the 2020/21 campaign.

Being FA Level 2 qualified is a minimum requirement, and the coach in question should be working towards their UEFA B Licence.

The closing date for applications is June 30 and CV's should be sent to club secretary Matthew Kermode on: matthew@bcwfc.co.uk

Meanwhile, the FA Women’s Football Board has made a decision to allow all match statistics from the 2019/20 season to remain in place, despite having to bring the respective campaigns to an early close.

This covers player statistics, such as goals and appearances, alongside team records and allows the achievements of players and teams throughout the 2019/20 season, prior to the impact of Covid-19, to be recognised.
