Lee
Symonds has joined the Hereford Football Association as Football
Coordinator (Schools) following a long career in professional football
administration
with local side Hereford United. Lee joins the Football Development
team at the HFA and will be working from the office on a Wednesday.
Lee, who has a strong interest in football after having been associated with local side Westfields at both junior and senior level, is keen to help develop the football programme that is currently implemented in local schools and provide them with the necessary support.
The role that he undertakes is a step away from the day to day running of a football club however he brings plenty of experience with him to the HFA, which will help him to get to grips with schools football administration.
Lee commented “When the opportunity to join the HFA came up, it was one that I knew I would relish, as it was a chance for me to stay connected to the football world and learn a different side to football administration and get closer to grass roots football.”
Jim Lambert, Chief Executive, commented "We are delighted that Lee has joined the team to support the work the HFA have been doing in supporting schools football. The ‘post’ will be jointly financed by the Herefordshire Schools and the HFA and will create yet another string to the bow of support that the County FA provide for grassroots football."
