We can confirm that Head of Player Pathway Rob Moore has agreed terms to be part of Angelo Harrop’s backroom staff for the 2025-26 season!
Having previously been known to the Clarets through his time at Hullbridge Sports, Rob Moore joined in the summer of 2023 in the Head of Player Pathway role. He works with the players coming out of the academy and looks to either help them with dual registration or on their pathway to the first team. Alongside his role he is also the Under 21s manager, giving those players the opportunities to play under the club’s name whilst they’re also out of dual registration. And alongside both of them roles, he works as a first team coach when it comes to training and matchdays.
Rob said: “I’m really happy to be staying, naturally delighted. It’s my local club, I literally live in the city, so there’s no desire for me to go anywhere, so yeah, I absolutely wanted to and I’m delighted to stay.
“It’s a time of change for the club, which is really exciting, and a chance to work with someone new, obviously. The last couple of years here with Simmo have been fantastic. I’m someone that embraces change. You’ve got to go with it, so exciting times.
“Angelo will bring something different. The change to full-time will naturally make things different anyway, but Angelo will have a different style, a different approach, different coaching style. He’s obviously had success in this league as well. So, for me personally, really, really excited about working with him.”
Angelo Harrop said: “I’m really happy that Rob will be staying on in his role as Head of Player Pathway.
“Rob’s work during the last season showed how useful the Under 21s will be and we know that will only get better.
“Hopefully we can develop the Under 21s continually and will start to see the best young players in the county linking up as well as the opportunity for some home grown talents to make their way into our first team.”
We look forward to seeing Rob continue his excellent work with the Clarets!
