Pembroke look for new coach following Fulton resignation

Pembroke Wanderers are now accepting applications for the position of men's first team coach following Craig Fulton’s decision to resign from the role this week.

In a statement from the club, Pembroke said they "would like to thank Craig for the five years he was been with us, which has seen our men’s first team having great success, including winning back-to-back IHL trophies, participating in the EHL in the last two seasons, winning the Irish Senior Cup in 2008 and 2009 and winning the Leinster League on a number of occasions".

As a result, the club is now welcoming expressions of interest for the position of the men’s first team coach for the upcoming 2010/11 season and potentially a longer term.

The club is looking for applications from individuals who have proven previous experience coaching at this level, who can give the required commitment to an EHL qualified team, and who can demonstrate ambition, sound organisational skills and excellent interpersonal qualities.

"Pembroke has the determination and ambition to remain as one of the top clubs in Leinster and Ireland and is looking for a coach who has the calibre to help the team achieve its domestic and European goals."

Interested applicants should send a short hockey résumé, detailing coaching qualifications and previous experience. Any other information they feel is relevant to their application, should be included in the covering letter. Applications should be sent to Pembrokewanderers@gmail.com For more information if necessary, call David Wilson on 0876787358.

* Fulton will make a decision on his future as Irish assistant coach in the coming months, telling the Hook that he is currently assessing his options but did say he was keen to see the job through to fruition after four years and help the side qualify for a major tournament.
