Yate Town FC U18's
Yate Town Under 18 WCFL team
Manager: John Black
I have over 20 years’ experience in coaching children from grass roots football up to professional academies and beyond. I see the set up at Yate Town Under 18s is a great opportunity for any lad in developing his skills and have a structured pathway that has the potential to lead to Western League or Southern League football. The goal is to hopefully see a few of our lads pulling on the Yate Town first team shirt over the next few years.
Yate Town FC Youth Development Officer: Shane Cook
I was fortunate enough to experience a football pathway that took me from grassroots football to the height of the Premier League. Under18s football is an integral part of young footballers’ development and I would like to use my past experiences to help our lads strive towards their footballing ambitions whilst enjoying every step of this particular part of their footballing journey.

Manager: Ant Miles
I've been involved in coaching youth football for many years, spending the last six at Bradley Stoke. Before that I played at a decent standard in the East Midlands. I believe in attractive, possession-based football, and I'm excited by the challenge of overseeing Yate Town's U18 teams in the Bristol Combination League, and helping all these lads improve as players, alongside my excellent coaching team.
Assistant Manager: Chris Shearwood
My earliest memory of football was being selected to play for my school team when I was 11 years old and from that moment I was hooked on the game. I was fortunate to play for more than 30 years, transitioning over the last 10 years into coaching. Over this past decade I have coached young players and adults in the Avon Youth League, Bristol Suburban League and Western League. I am excited to be part of the under-18’s set-up at Yate Town and look forward to help players transition from youth to adult football.
