Women’s Manager

Eastbourne Town Women’s team are pleased to announce that Toby Fox will be taking over the management role with immediate effect. Toby joins The Town from Pontypridd United Under-19’s Women’s team and has also worked various academies in Wales.

Toby stated that his ambition this season is to make the standards within the club better and to win as many games as possible and see where it takes us. We are looking to play direct attacking football and getting the ball through the thirds and try to be creative and expressive in the final third. Eastbourne Town were playing in the London and South East league a few years ago before taking a voluntary drop into the Sussex County League, it would be great to get the team back at that level.

Toby is taking over from player-managers Sarah Da Silva and Dani Parfitt, Sarah stated “We are really happy to announce that Toby fox will be our first team manager with the new season coming. Fresh ideas, ambitious and ready to go, I’m excited to see what Toby brings to us as a team and our club.”

Chairman Dave Shearing said “We thank all the applicants who applied and we welcome Toby to Eastbourne and look forward to working with him and as a committee supporting him and the women’s team.
