Signol under 11 Chiefs
Welcome to the official page of the Signol Athletic Under 11 Chiefs!
Our dedicated young players are showcasing their skills and teamwork as they compete in Division 8 of the East Manchester Junior Football League. With each match, the Chiefs continue to grow, displaying a strong commitment to improving and pushing themselves to new heights. Their enthusiasm, hard work, and sportsmanship shine through on the pitch as they work together to achieve their goals.
We are excited to watch them progress and develop both as players and individuals throughout the season.
Manager: Nathan
Bio:
As a father of two, I first brought my son to Signol in 2022, midway through the season, and we haven’t looked back since. What began with me simply offering to help collect footballs during training quickly evolved into a deeper involvement with the team. Since then, I have earned my UEFA C coaching qualification and am set to begin my UEFA B Licence this year.
In my youth, I was fortunate to progress through the academy systems at both Manchester United and Manchester City during the 1990s and early 2000s. I also had the honour of playing for the England U16 Schoolboys team before signing a professional contract with Manchester City, an experience that was both rewarding and invaluable.
Since joining the team in 2022, I’ve had the privilege of watching the players develop week by week. Seeing their growth, both as individuals and as a team, and witnessing the joy they find in playing football together, is the most fulfilling aspect of coaching.

Bio:
As a proud parent of two, I have the privilege of managing our Under-11s football team. I believe in fostering a positive, team-first approach to coaching, emphasizing passing, teamwork, and ensuring every player feels included in the game. My sessions are designed to build confidence, promote collaboration, and, most importantly have fun both on and off the pitch.
