First team activity has really picked up pace over the last month and Andy Whing has added further depth to his coaching support team.

Banbury United are delighted to introduce former Coventry City player Craig Pead.

Craig said ‘I’m delighted to be joining Banbury United as First team coach! I’m looking forward to working with the players and staff and I can’t wait to get started and see if we can bring success this season!’

As you can imagine Whingy was over the moon ‘ I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to bring in Craig to be our First Team Coach. I’ve known Craig a long time having played together at Coventry City many years ago. He will bring great experience from his playing and coaching days, as well as being a top guy who wants to learn and improve himself, which is a key ethos to our approach at the football club’

Craig played for Coventry City, Walsall and Brentford in a career spanning from 2002 to 2009.
