Following what has been a difficult season here at The Pedlars we are very pleased to announce the successful recruitment of our new Management Team of Justin Short and Stuart Gallon for the 25/26 upcoming season.
We would like to extend our upmost thanks again to Paul Faulkner who departed the management set up in January due to personal reasons, Callum Madigan who took over the reigns until March departing by mutual agreement and Stephen Curson-Pope who has stepped up from the management of the reserve team during this interim period.
Justin (Cambridge United Academy & Kings Lynn Town Academy) and Stuart (King’s Lynn Town Academy) bring a wealth of experience to The Pedlars, demonstrating previous significant successful academy prowess. Additionally, they have huge knowledge of both local and regional football, Stuart having been a previous player here at Swaffham Town FC. They bring with them a drive to see a new era for The Pedlars, particularly focusing on the progression of the youth set up and developing a strong pathway through to senior football. Alongside developing our own local talent, there is clear plan to continue developing their established connections with other clubs to facilitate movement of players through the system.
Aaron Jasper (Chairman) has said “The appointment of Justin & Stuart to Swaffham Town FC brings about an exciting new era for the club. The new approach they plan to implement here; I believe, will not only bring about significant opportunities for our senior teams, but moving forward with a key focus on developing our youth will build on the sustainability of The Pedlars and local players for the future. I and the committee are delighted to have them both on board, and offer them our full support and best wishes moving forward into the new season.”
