Sean Crighton comes on board as B Team Head Coach

Academy Director Tommy McIntyre said: “Sean impressed everyone with his professionalism and desire to coach in the environment that has been created at Queen’s Park.

“He is a young, highly talented innovative coach who will embrace the philosophy at the club and further develop not only the young potential players that he will be working with but himself as an elite coach in a High-Performance environment.

“The ‘B’ Team like all teams in the academy is an integral part of the club as it prepares the players for the next step in their journey which is First Team football.”

Queen’s Park’s Director of Football Darren O’Donnell said: “Sean is coming to us with a lot of great qualities in terms of his experience as a professional player and coaching abilities. As a coach he already has a record for nurturing young talent at professional clubs and that is important to us.

“We have high hopes for Sean as he has a proven record of developing players to bridge the gap between Reserve and First team. We are sure that he will go on and be a great asset to the club.”
