Copied from UC Football Club facebook page:
Universities is proud to announce Jesse Rawlings as the new Head Coach of our MPL side. He will be joined by Tyler Logan as his assistant. Jesse is a third-year sports coaching student who coached the Reserves team last season. Having already worked with the MPL squad and his understanding of the culture of UC Football we believe Jesse is the right man to continue the significant progress we have made as a club over the last five years.
In taking on the role, Jesse wanted to ...say a few words.
“I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to coach the Universities MPL team. I have a lot of respect and admiration for this club and I want nothing more than to see the club and those who represent it succeed. We have a proud recent history of developing players, coaches and support staff who have gone on to higher honours with the Canterbury United Dragons and the Wellington Phoenix, and this is something we must continue to strive toward. We have some very exciting young players at the club, so the potential is there to be realized.
We are also very fortunate at Universities to have access to the Video Analysis and Strength and Conditioning support, and we must utilize these advantages with a view to be challenging for the MPL title in the near future."
We wish him and the team all the best for the upcoming season.
