Ashford Town (Middlesex) Football Club are delighted to announce two key appointments that will further enhance the structure of the club.  In relation to matters on the pitch, we are pleased to able to confirm that Ben Murray has been appointed the club's first-ever Football Development Officer.  Having established himself as a coach within the club's junior section, Mr Murray has also been working with the club's Under-18 team for some time and this season has also been assisting Glynn Stephens with the running of the Suburban League team.

Mr Murray will continue to coach at all levels of the club as part of his new role and will also have a remit to promote the club within the local community.  He can be contacted via email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Off the pitch, we are delighted to welcome Natalie Soper on board to assist with the development of the club, particularly in relation to sponsorship and commercial activities.  Ms. Soper already has a strong connection with the club as both her mother and sister are serving Committee Members (the incomparable Sue and Tory Cox) while her brother, Daniel Cox, is a former Ashford player.

Natalie replaces Jason Shaw, whose work commitments prevented him from making the impact he hoped to and she can be contacted via email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
