📢 Welcome to the Villa Family! ⚽
We’re buzzing to announce our two new assistant player-coaches — Dave Francis & Jamie Parsons!
Jamie 🗣
"Really looking forward to playing and working with you all. Little bit about me — I spent my playing days at Steyning, and Upper Beeding.
Managed Beeding Reserves where we finished 2nd and 3rd in the West Sussex Prem. After a short break, I returned to Beeding’s first team in County 2 for 2½ years, inheriting a bit of a mess but turning the club around.
I think we have great potential in our group here and we should be looking to succeed from the off, setting ambitious targets as a collective. I truly believe we’re onto something with real potential."
Dave 🗣
"A little bit about myself — I’ve played County football since I was 15, starting at Littlehampton, then Lancing in County 1, before moving to Steyning for 4 years. I’ve played County 1/Prem for over 10 years, with spells at Worthing United, Hailsham, and Beeding under JP.
I’ve been playing since I was 5, picked up a lot of knowledge and good methods over the years, and I’m looking to pass that on.
I want to help this team achieve big things and push the club back to where it should be."
🙌 Both bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion for the game — and we can’t wait to see the impact they’ll have this season.
