We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Nick Cassidy as First Team Coach.
The popular former Stan player has more recently been coaching at Northern League side North Shields following his retirement from playing.
On his appointment, Nick said,
“I couldn’t think of a better opportunity to start my next chapter in football”
Heaton Stan manager, Dean Nicholson shared his thoughts on Cassidy’s return:
“I’m over the moon to bring Nick back to the club. He’s a huge, popular figure at the club and his knowledge and professionalism will be a huge addition to the staff here”
Welcome back to the Stan, Cass!
