Exeter City Football Club is recruiting for a range of exciting new roles within its Academy ahead of the 2025/26 season, with a focus on player care and technical coaching across several youth age groups.

The club, owned by the Supporters' Trust and known for its strong community roots, has built a national reputation for developing homegrown talent. With the next generation in mind, applications are now open for full-time, part-time and casual positions, starting from 23 June 2025.

Roles available include:

• U11–U12 Cell Lead Coach

Academy staff are expected to implement the club’s ‘Next Generation Plan’ and uphold Exeter City’s philosophy of developing technically skilled, resilient and well-rounded young footballers.

Rachel Penney, Academy Operations Manager, said: “These new positions reflect our ambition to invest in our young players and create a supportive, progressive coaching environment. We’re looking for candidates who are passionate about youth development and eager to grow within a thriving Academy structure.”
