Nantwich Town can announce that Lyndon Wain has informed the club of his intention to leave his role as Football Development Officer (FDO) at the end of April after the current season concludes.
Whilst this is obviously disappointing news for the Club, its coaches and hundreds of players that have developed under Lyndon’s guidance and leadership, we also appreciate that the role is a very demanding and time consuming one and we fully understand his desire to spend more quality time with his family, though pleasingly, he has indicated that he will still be around on occasions to support and offer help wherever possible.
Chairman Jon Gold said:
“We owe Lyndon a great deal of gratitude for the immense work and incredible progress that he has made since returning to the Club as our FDO. Amongst the many other duties he carries out on a daily basis, he has overseen and project managed the implementation of the new Stadium 3G facility, grown our teams of every age and denomination to over 70 and put in place the foundations of our first Academy proposition in partnership with Brine Lees School, which will launch in September.
“His contribution to the club has been immense and it is truly valued and we will all be doing our best to build on all of this, as a fitting legacy to the foundations he has laid. I am sure that all of our coaches, players and parents will join us in thanking him personally over the next month”.
Lyndon Wain said:
“It’s been a tough decision to leave so many friends behind and many who still have long pathways of development in front of them. I am very proud of what we have achieved and the club’s facilities and its potential for even more growth. By concentrating on inclusion and participation, the club has turned into a very special place and I will miss everyone.
“Due to the growth and development of the many different areas of community and youth development over the past few years, the club is planning a review of the infrastructure of what is one of the most important aspects of our operation, so that we can ensure that we have the resources in place to provide the leadership and support that will enable this section to continue to provide the support to our coaches, players, parents and the community and to also enable it to develop further in future, and an announcement on this and any changes to the structuring, if needed, will be made once this has taken place”.
