* CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT *
We are delighted to welcome our new Head Coach Thiu Barnard and wish him all best for the season ahead.
Here are a few words from Thiu
"I’m South African, I moved over to England in 2005 — and 21 years later, I’m still here, loving every minute of the game! Guess I'm British now.
I’m excited about the new challenge at Crocs. It's a great club and I already feel welcome and part of it!
My/our main goal is clear, PROMOTION.
As Head Coach, I’ve led a few clubs to promotion, so I know what it takes. I’ve also had great success coaching University sides to winning their respective leagues.
This season will be a big challenge but I’m really excited. The response from the players has been fantastic, everyone’s buying in, and the feedback has been brilliant these past few days. We are building something special. It will take time, effort and a lot of hard work but I think everyone is ready for what lies ahead.
Can’t wait to get the ball rolling, work hard, and be part of something special here at Crocs!! "
