BACKROOM STAFF | Carl Garner and Neil Hart join Chester FC

Carl Garner and Neil Hart have today joined Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley’s backroom staff in scouting and analysis roles.

Carl Garner (pictured with Johnson and Morley) has been appointed Chief Scout – with Neil Hart focusing on opposition scouting and also First Team Analysis.

On the announcement, Joint Manager Anthony Johnson said: “Myself and Bernard are delighted to have both Carl and Neil on board with us.

“They are two guys who we know and trust and who we’ve worked with in the past at different clubs.

“Carl was scouting at Fleetwood Town and advised chairman Andy Pilley on signing Jamie Vardy from Halifax who he said would one day play for England (even at 25)! His knowledge of the non-league system is second to none with an extensive contact list.

“Neil has scouted opposition now for a few years for a couple of clubs as well as being an ex pro and UEFA licensed coach.”

Welcome to Chester FC, Carl & Neil!
