Crusaders FC are delighted to confirm the appointment of Lee Finlay as Head of our Elite Phase.
Lee has been part of the club for over 10 years and has played a key role in the growth and success of our 2011 age group. His appointment is an important step in strengthening the pathway progression at Crusaders FC.
That pathway was on show yesterday, as three 17-year-olds starred in an excellent team performance for Declan Caddell’s young side against a strong Glenavon outfit in the Sports Direct NIFL Premiership.
Caddell is committed to developing and providing opportunities for young players to make the step into senior football, and this is exactly what excites Lee as he takes on his new role.
As part of this restructure, Matthew Higginson will move into a new Head of Phase role with Crusaders Strikers. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Matthew for his continued support and dedication.
We congratulate Lee on his appointment and wish him every success as he continues his journey with the club.
