“Corey has over the year proven why he is one the best coaches around, his professionalism is second to none and the kids love him. I have no doubts Corey will one day be coaching at a professional club, he has already turned down some big clubs to apply his trade to grass roots football where his passion is, he is a role model for the rest of the coaches at the club and is always prepared to take a leading role on inset days and pass his experience onto others”.
