Soccer Elite FA are delighted to confirm the appointment of Lee Radford as the Head Coach of our Maplesden Noakes Sixth Form Programme.
Lee rejoins our Maidstone-based post-16 programme – which combines sixth form A-Level and/or BTEC courses with daily football training and weekly matches – having previously worked there for the best part of a decade prior to the pandemic.
Soccer Elite FA’s Sam Bunn said: “It was an absolute no-brainer to bring Rads back into the fold of our Education & Football Programme when the opportunity arose.
“Lee is, of course, one of our most popular coaches since we formed in 2006, he embodies everything we look for in a coach and has had so much success with the players he’s worked with. Rads has continued to be a part of our Academy over the last couple of years, and to now see him back out on the pitch with our post-16 players has been fantastic.
“There is no doubt he is the perfect person to drive our Maidstone Programme forward and bring more success as we enter a second decade in partnership with Maplesden Noakes.”
