Aimee Redfern takes Girls PDC coaching role

Connah’s Quay Nomads are pleased to announce that Aimee Redfern has agreed to take up the position as Head Coach of our Girls PDC U16s side.

Redfern is currently a first team player for The Nomads Women and during her two-and-a-half spell at the club so far, she has made over 50 competitive appearances.

Predominantly playing as a centre-back, Redfern has now decided to take up another role as Head Coach of our Girls PDC U16s side. Redfern’s wealth of playing experience will help her to develop as a coach and will help her assist players as they prepare for a future in football, and potentially even The Nomads Women’s senior squad.

In her exciting new role, Redfern will be supported by Women’s First Team Manager, UEFA A License holder and Girls PDC leader Jordan Parry.

It has been an incredible journey so far for our Girls Player Development Centre. It was originally set up in March 2023 with the main objective being to give younger girls the chance to take the next step in their football careers. Just three months ago, our PDC received more exciting news as we were awarded an FAW accredited status following a successful application.

In addition to our Women’s First Team and U19s team, this sector of the club now has youth teams starting from U9 level and a scholarship team.

Redfern expressed her excitement on taking the U16s coaching role, and admitted she was thrilled with what she has seen so far, having begun training sessions with the squad last week.

She said: “I am really excited to step into my new role. I have wanted to get back into coaching for a while now and I feel this is the perfect opportunity.

“The Girls PDC at Connah’s Quay Nomads is producing a more elite standard each year and the current players have so much potential to develop, and if they keep working hard, they could see themselves playing for the senior team like myself.

“I feel privileged that I get to be a part of their journey. I hope that I can pass on my knowledge and experience to the girls and help them develop further.”
