Women: Harriers coaching update

HARRIERS Women can now confirm the First Team backroom staff in full ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Head of Women’s Football Matt Guise, coach Dave Cannon, goalkeeper coach Dan Hollings and physio Niamh Garstang all remain with the side following the 2025/26 campaign.

They are joined by the newly-appointed Head Coach, Brandon Bevins, who takes on the position alongside his current role as the club’s Academy Manager. Brandon’s appointment further strengthens the link between the academy and the women’s programme, helping to create a clear and consistent pathway throughout the club.

George Preston will support the team alongside Morgan Biles, with both bringing valuable experience from their work across the male and female pathways.

They will play an important role in supporting the players physical development, managing the demands of the game and helping to ensure the squad is prepared to perform consistently throughout the season.

Jack Cole will also support the team from afar, providing match analysis, opposition analysis and support around the continued development of our playing principles.

All three members of staff currently work within the club’s academy and EDS model, helping to provide continuity across the pathway.

Brandon Bevins spoke on the new first team staff, saying: “I am pleased to have George, Morgan and Jack supporting the team.

“Their knowledge of the club, their experience within the pathway and their commitment to developing players will be valuable as we begin working with.”
