Sunderland have appointed Adam Ashgar as their new Under-18 Lead Coach.
The 28-year-old will oversee the training and development programme for the Under-18s, and work alongside Carlton Fairweather to bridge the gap to the Under-21s.
Head of Coaching, Stuart English said: “Adam is a bright young coach and we’re delighted he’s part of our Academy set-up. His CV at such a young age speaks for itself and his passion and energy to be a part of our programme really excited us. Working alongside Carlton Fairweather, Adam’s role will enable more fluidity between our Under-18s and Under-21s, and we’re delighted to welcome him to the Club.”
