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.
