Kingborough Lions United FC is thrilled to announce that Simon Edwards has been re-appointed as WSL Head Coach for Season 2023.
Simon will oversee the Female High Performance program at the Den. In this role he will continue to provide opportunities for talented players coming through the club’s female program and players looking to be part of a strongly supported female football environment.
In a year featuring the FIFA Women’s World Cup we’re looking to build participation in Female Football here at the Den. With the introduction of a U18s (WSL Development) League, the completion of 8 gender-neutral (female friendly) changerooms, upgrades to Clennett’s Lightwood Park to meet FIFA standards, there could not be a more exciting time to be a Lion.
On securing the WSL Head Coach role, Simon shared: “I am excited and humbled to have the opportunity to lead KLUFC’s High Performance Women’s Program in the year that the FIFA Women’s World Cup is being played in Australia & NZ. I look forward to working closely with the club and coaching staff to ensure the success of our WSL, SCW and U18 teams in 2023. It is an exciting time to be involved in Female Football and the club – 2023 should see huge interest in Female football and it will be wonderful for our Women to experience the new FIFA standard Lightwood Park once upgrades are completed in February. “
Pre-season has commenced for WSL, SCW and U18 (WSL Development) groups. Players interested in joining the program for 2023 should contact Simon on 0419 947 182 or complete the player’s Expression of Interest Form .
