Aberdare
Town
are
delighted
to
announce
the
appointment
of
Zoe
Denman-Ellis
as
their
new
manager
of
the
ladies team.
Upon
officially
being
unveiled
at
the
Club
before
getting
down
to
work
she
said:
“I'm
incredibly
honoured
to
be
a
part
of
Aberdare
Town
Football
Club,
for
the
Ladies
team.
This
is
a
football
club
that
the
fans
and
community
can
be
truly
proud
of.
The
clubs
Committee
have
a
fantastic
vision
for
the
future
across
all
ages
and
genders,
and
I'm
really
excited
to be a part of that”.
With
the
recent
departure
of
the
majority
of
the
ladies
squad
Zoe
has
a
blank
canvas
to
work
from
as
she
looks
to
build
a
new
team
for
the
2020/21
season:
“I
aim
to
create
a
sense
of
loyalty
and
stability
across
the
ages,
where
girls
know
that
they
have
a
team
they
can
continue
to
play
for
throughout
their
time
at
Aberdare
Town.
I
am
a
strong
believer
in
developing
players
as
people,
not
just
players,
so
that
they
can
take
away
from
their
time
with
us
and
implement
it
into
their
current
lives
in
school,
at
home
or
in
work.
I
hope
that
in
time,
players
will
seek
out
our
club
for
it's
recognition
of
good
football
development,
and
use
us
as
a
stepping
stone
into
other
clubs,
leagues
and
it
would
be
great
to
eventually produce international footballers”.
Zoe,
a
C
Licence
coach
who
who
is
looking
at
completing
her
UEFA
B
licence
is
set
to
get
work
underway
as
she
looks
to
put
her
own
stamp
on
the
Clubs
ladies
team
with
it
confirmed
that
they
won’t
take
any
further
part
in
the
South
Wales
Womens
and
Girls
League
for
the
remainder
of
this
season.
Club
Secretary
David
Sweet
said:
“We
spoke
to
Zoe
about
the
rest
of
this
season
but
there
was
a
consensus
that
to
be
able
to
get
a
full
squad
to
complete
two
different
leagues
is
a
step
too
far
at
this
moment
so
we
took
the
decision
to
withdraw
our
ladies
team
for
the
rest
of
the
year but will be looking to rejoin again in the summer ready for the 2020/21 campaign with a new look team”.
With
several
months
now
free
to
put
her
plans
into
action
Zoe
added:
“I
want
our
squad
to
experience
training
on
another
level
than
they
may
be
used
to
in
this
league.
From
the
conversations
I
have
already
had
with
those
at
the
Club
I
know
there
is
the
full
support
of
the
Committee
behind
us.
The
next
few
months
I
will
be
looking
forward
to
seeing
our
younger
age
groups
and
watching
as
many
games
as
possible
while
we
will
be
looking
at
holding
some
open training and walk up sessions ahead of the summer to make sure we have a squad that is raring to go.
“It's
an
exciting
time
to
be
a
part
of
Aberdare
Town
Football
Club,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
in
the
stands
cheering us on or on the pitch, playing for the club”.
News on Zoe’s back room staff will be announced in due course.
Any
players,
both
new
and
old,

wish
to
get
involved
in
a
new
era

ladies
football

Town
