Mousehole AFC’s priority emphasis on coaching has been significantly reinforced by the appointment of Jack Greenwood (pictured), who until recently was manager of Wendron United and previously their assistant manager.

Jack Greenwood will have a potentially wide-ranging role, including insights into prospective opponents and players, as well as contributing ideas to the coaching and training strategy.

In his four years as Wendron United manager, Greenwood led The Dron to their highest-ever League finish, including elevation to the South West Peninsula League Premier Division as a result of FA re-structuring, and to the club’s best-ever run to the semi-final of the Cornwall Senior Cup.

Earlier, having played for Truro City and Wendron, his on-field career was halted by a knee injury, but he has always had an eye on coaching. 

Greenwood says he is excited to be involved with Mousehole:  “I feel honoured to be part of such a forward thinking club.  I’ve been completely taken aback by how friendly and receptive everyone at the club has been, from the bar staff to the groundsman to the players themselves…it’s been really refreshing.  I’m really looking forward to working with this talented group of players.  Their ability levels are much higher than I ever anticipated – but above that, it’s their attitudes that have impressed me hugely.”

Manager Jake Ash is pleased to welcome Jack Greenwood on board at Trungle Parc: “We have always admired what he achieved at Wendron and, just as importantly, how he went about it.  Once we knew he was taking a step back from first team management there we started to think about how he could fit in with our existing coaching team.  In that sense he will give us another set of eyes from a coaching and tactical point of view, but also help provide us with intelligence about other teams, the wider local scene and any potential players who might fit our model.”
