After a four-week trial period, we’re thrilled to announce that Priya Okafor — former England Lionesses U17 goalkeeper — is joining the academy as our new full-time Goalkeeping Coach.
Priya brings a wealth of elite-level experience and a player-first approach that fits perfectly with the Vanguard philosophy. She’ll be leading our standalone Goalkeeping School every Tuesday and supporting GKs across all our squads.
In her own words
“I’ve seen first-hand how transformative quality coaching can be. I can’t wait to help the next generation of Vanguard keepers find their voice — between the sticks and beyond.” — Priya Okafor
Welcome to the family, Priya.
