Tottenham HotspurThe Club can confirm that Matt Wells has left his role as our Under-18s Coach to take up a first team coaching position at Fulham.
A former midfielder who emerged through our Academy system himself in the mid-2000s, Matt later returned to the Club in a coaching capacity and served as Assistant Coach to the late Ugo Ehiogu and Scott Parker with our Development Squad and Under-18s respectively, before taking over responsibilities for the Under-18s at the start of the current season.
He now reunites with Scott, who is Caretaker Manager at Craven Cottage.
Matt continues our excellent record of nurturing high-level players and staff, both for our club and the wider game.
Head of Academy Coaching and Player Development John McDermott said: "After a long association with our Academy as a player and coach, Matt will now be joining Scott Parker’s senior coaching team at Fulham.
"To see him develop from a 16-year-old apprentice player into a talented member of staff gives me a huge amount of personal pride. Matt continues our excellent record of nurturing high-level players and staff, both for our club and the wider game. On behalf of everyone here, I would like to thank Matt and wish him every success in the next chapter of his career."
In the interim, Matt's responsibilities will be absorbed by our existing Academy coaching structure.
