After a review of the current player pathway to support talented girls, over the next two seasons the FA will be changing the structure across England. The landscape will be changing from next season (22/23) in Wiltshire with Emerging Talent Centre’s replacing FA Advanced Coaching Centres.

We are delighted to announce Swindon Town FC Community Foundation has been awarded an FA Emerging Talent Centre license.

Ashley Cornick, Football Development Officer at Wiltshire County FA said: “We are excited to support Swindon Town FC Community Foundation as they continue to grow opportunities for girls in the county to access elite level coaching. We will work together to provide a solid framework to improve inclusivity and accessibility for girls in Wiltshire who wish to reach the top of the game”.

Alice Telling, Community Development Officer at Swindon Town FC Community Foundation said: “We are very proud to have been awarded the opportunity to deliver the FA Emerging Talent Centre for girls in Wiltshire and therefore be able to create an environment for talented female players to reach their potential. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Wiltshire FA to support and grow the female opportunities within the county.”
