Wednesday 12 June 2024

Jersey Wanderers has announced the appointment of a new First Team Manager and Assistant Manager for the men's side, who hope to bring "success back to this great club".

Chris Gill will take on the top job for the senior men's side and Sam Quail will assist him.

Both have moved to JWFC after a couple of successful season's with St Peter's FC, who were unbeaten in their Premiership title run for the 22-23 season.

As one of the oldest clubs on the island, Wanderers men's side has an extensive history and both new members of the set-up are excited to take on this opportunity.

The new Manager Chris Gill said: "Joining Wanderers is something that I am incredibly proud of. I am looking forward to working with a talented group of players and we are committed to continuing Jersey Wanderers’ rich and historical tradition of success".

Sam Quail added: "Coming to Jersey Wanderers is something really special and everyone has been so welcoming. I can really see the community values this club has and our goal is to do the very best for JWFC and the players, bringing success back to this great club.”

In the 23/24 season, Wanderers men did well to stay in the Premiership One League, coming just one place above relegation with 13 points.

As the football calendar gears up for the next season, Wanderers is hoping the new coaching staff will boost results.

Mark Woodford, Wanderers Chief Executive, said: "We are very excited for the future."

“Welcoming Chris and Sam to the Wanderers family, it was apparent from our first contact with them that they had a clear vision that embedded our values," he added.
