Coaching Staff


Andy Hunt – Manager

Andy joins Fleet Spurs as 1st Team Manager, following a long career between the sticks.  Starting out as a youth player at Brentford, during that same period he was recognised as Sondico Young Goalkeeper of the Year. Andy made his name as a young up & coming goalkeeper, having numerous top class outings for Staines Town 1st team at the tender age of 17. He then moved onto Fleet Town strenthening his reputation as a young goalie with real potential. Andy plyed his trade throughout non-league football, playing for a number of clubs, including Bromley, Kingstonian & most recently Ash United, Cove & Hartley Wintney. His footballing travels have enabled him to pick the brains of many a manager & build up a number of contacts in the game which will no doubt come in useful during his 1st management job at Fleet Spurs.

Danny Roberts – Assistant Manager

Danny followed Andy over to Fleet Spurs, following a stint as manager of Hartley Wintney in the Suburban League. Danny & Andy became friends when playing for the same college football team. Both went in different directions in their football careers, but their paths have often crossed with spells playing for the same team. Danny started out at Southampton, when being released he moved into non-league football, playing for a host of clubs, including; Windsor & Eton, Leatherhead, Bromley, AFC Wimbledon, Fleet Town & most recently Hartley Wintney. Again, as with Andy, Danny brings many contacts & similar footballing ideals having played under a number of influencial managers in the professional & non-league game.

Paul Dale - 1st Team Coach

Paul is a UEFA A License Coach, who brings with him a vast amount of experience, having worked within the Academy set ups at a host of professional football clubs. His tactical knowledge is second to none & his coaching sessions are of the highest order. His involvement at the club will benefit not only the players but the staff who he will be working alongside.

John Roberts – 1st Team Assistant

John (Robbo Senior) has recently agreed to join the clubs backroom staff. His experience is invaluable in advising & supporting the new management team. He managed the Under 18 side at Farnborough FC when they were playing in the Conference National Division.

Playing Staff

 

Sam Cobbett – Utility

Cobb’s is a great lad who has played the majority of his career out on pitch, with him earning a 2 year contract with Aldershot Town a number of years ago. He also has the unique ability of being able to play between the sticks, where he has played most of his football in recent seasons. He’s a top lad who is known for mad clobber and interesting hair cuts.  He has officially been appointed as Fines Master, he will be a great addition to the squad on & off the field.

Ryan Bone – Goalkeeper

Ryan is a young Goalkeeper who impressed whilst playing for the 1st team last season with some very solid performances. At only 16 he has a realistic chance of being involved with the 1st team again this season, further developing his undoubted ability. His distribution is very good and he is an exceptional shot stopper.

Alex Pickering- Full Back

Pickers joins us from Hartley Wintney where he was part of their promotion winning side a few season ago. Pickers is good on the ball and distributes the ball very well, he has played a large part of his football in the centre of the park, but has reverted to full back this pre-season & has looked very comfortable in that position. Naturally fit, he has settled in quickly & is a key member of the squad.

Elliott Richards – Full Back

Ellsey has come over from Hartley Wintney. He played for Robbo and Hunty in the reserves, having previously played for Basingstoke youth. He is a young full back with a lovely left foot. He likes to get forward and get crosses in. With Robbo’s advise we are sure to see Elliott fulfill his potential & become a fantastic left back.

Glenn Hunt – Defender

Glenn is an experienced defender who has played the majority of his career at various CCL clubs, including Farnham, Cove, Ash United & most recently Hartley Wintney. Glenn is very athletic, strong in the air & calm in posession of the ball.

Chris Musgrove- Defender

Mussy has just finished University in Portsmouth where he studied Sports Science. Mussy has been playing in the Uni 1st team which this year won the national cup. A tall, strong defender who Hunty knew before at Cove. A good organiser at the back and has been made captain.

Aaron Jessavala- Midfielder/Forward

Azza has joined this season from Hartley Wintney. Aaron has bags of pace and is always at the front of the running. His preferred positions are either wide or up front. This pre-season has really seen him progress as a player. His pace, skill & workrate ensures he is a constant threat for any opponent.

James Wills – Forward

Willsy has joined this season from Knaphill. He has played for various clubs in recent seasons with a consistently impressive scoring record. James has a great attitude, strikes the ball superbly & his pace causes opposing defences no end of problems.

Ed Morris – Midfielder

Ed Morris is a solid player who has been with the club on and off for many years. Having impressed in pre-season, Ed has now become an important player for the club, adapting to a variety of different positions where he slots in comfortably.

Philip Fisher – Forward

Philip is a good honest centre forward with the key attribute of bringing other players into the game. He has a good eye for goal and with a good run in the side will score consistently for us this season.

Ben Cobbett – Midfielder

Cobby number 2 is a great player with bags of experience. Having played for Camberley 1st team for a number of years. He can play in numerous positions and can deliver a good ball with either foot. Ben maybe the smallest player in non league but doesn’t mind a tackle and gives as good as he gets. Ben is currently working with Aldershot Town as a fitness coach and has previously worked with Portsmouth.

Kieren Arscott – Defender

Kieren has now been at the Spurs for a number of seasons. A likeable guy who is a very good solid defender & has a key role to play at the club this season.

Kirk Smith – Versatile

Kirk is new to Fleet Spurs this year. A versatile player who has really grown in confidence during pre-season. Kirk has a great never say die attitude and fantastic fitness levels, he’ll be a very important player for us.

Ryan Adger – Midfielder

Ryzo is a local lad, he is an intelligent player who is comfortable in posession & can deliver a good ball. He started Wokingham in the Isthmian league, before playing for Finchampstead as well as various other local sides. He is Lead singer in local band the Fins, which explains his interesting choice of haircuts & clothing.

Jason Kingston – Full Back

Jason has come over from Hartley Wintney, where he deservedly won managers player & players player for their 2nd XI. He has great pace, enjoys a battle & will be an important member of our squad this campaign.

Ben Burgess - Defender

Ben has joined Fleet Spurs having previously played for Camberley Town, Ash United & most significantly for Hartley Wintney in their CCL Division 1 promotion campaign. What Ben lacks in natural football ability he certainly makes up for in strength, pace & determination. He is a no nonsense defender who prides himself on being the fittest player at the club.

Mindy Kuodys - Utility

Mindy is another experienced addition to the squad. He has represented Lithuania at youth level in goal, but is another versatile player for us, who is just as comfortable playing in central defence or midfield. Last season he played for both Hartley Wintney & Whitchurch. His no nonsense approach on the pitch makes him a popular member of the squad.
