Hednesford Town FC would like to welcome Keenen Meakin-Richards to the club as the new academy manager. Keenen has a wealth of experience as co-founder of the Perform, Progress & Achieve Football Academy which provides coaching to schools, colleges, universities and from grassroots football through to professional academies.

Jaspa Jones welcomes Keenen to the PRG Roofing & Construction Stadium at Keys Park.

Alongside running the academy, Keenen has signed to play for Coleshill Town next season after featuring for Walsall Wood, Sporting Khalsa, Boldmere St Michaels, Bromsgrove Sporting and Halesowen Town amongst others. Keenen came through the youth team ranks here at Keys Park before making a dozen appearances for the Pitmen during the 2007/8 season.

We extend Keenen a warm welcome to Keys Park and look forward to seeing young talent develop under his vision and guidance.
