Andy Jones lands England role
A sports teacher from Shrewsbury Colleges Group has been selected as joint-manager for the England national men’s Under-18s team.
Andy Jones came through a rigorous interview process to beat dozens of other applicants from across the country to land the role.
England Colleges representative teams have been operating for over 10 years providing a unique and exciting opportunity for talented male and female footballers to perform at international level representing their country through domestic and international fixtures.
Jones, from Shrewsbury, has just returned from a two-day training camp at St George’s Park in Burton, the home of England national teams. During the camp, the ECFA team beat the Independent Schools Football Association 4-3.
Jones said: “It’s great that the college is supporting me to do this. It’s a fantastic opportunity and though I am volunteering my time, it will really help with our own football provision and student experience.
“In February half-term, I am travelling to Italy for the Rome International Tournament and we also have a number competitive fixtures against Australia and Wales.”
