Nantwich Town coach Matt Fisher earns Evo-Stik bursary

Nantwich Town coach Matt Fisher has received a bursary from the Evo-Stik League.

Fisher, youth team head coach, has received the grant to cover up to 50% of the costs as he works towards his UEFA B licence.

He was presented with the cheque by league development officer Mark Ogley at half time of the Dabbers game against Hyde United.

Fisher said: “I’m extremely delighted about the bursary. It means a lot to me that I can go and do my UEFA B license.

“It will not only benefit myself, but the players who are in the youth teams and the club as a whole because it mean it will help us produce better players for Phil Parkinson’s first team.

“Parkinson, his coaching staff and many of the first team have taken a keen interest in the progress of the youth team.

“They were at our FA Youth Cup games this season and Phil is always asking about the youth team and potential players who could make the step up.

“I think one or two of the players could step up into the first team very soon.

“But we will have to wait and see, when they do make that step up it will be fantastic to see.”

Nantwich Town chairman Tony Davison said: “I’m delight Matt could receive the bursary from the league to help complete with his coaching awards.

“We are committed to producing players for the first team and with this bursary it will help us to produce more players who can push themselves into the plans of first team manager Phil Parkinson.

“You only have to look to the last few weeks with Troy Bourne making his first team debut at Cammell Laird and then completing 90 minutes at Ashton United in the Intergro Sports Cup to see this.”

Football Development Officer Steve Smithies added: “Matt has worked nonstop in the development of the players in our youth team.

“He guided the young Dabbers through two rounds of the FA Youth cup this year and the team were mightily unlucky to lose 1-0 at AFC Fylde as they did the club proud.

“Matt informs that there are a couple of players who are standing out and could be featuring in the plans of Phil Parkinson’s first team come the end of the season, which is fantastic.”
