I announced recently that after 7.5 years at @theRPA, I’ll be moving on at the end of the season. Proud to have worked across the professional game, including the last 4 years leading Player Development & Wellbeing at the RPA. Grateful to colleagues, clubs & players.

Congratulations on a brilliant playing career @Jennymaxwell_, so much to be proud of both at club and international level 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Excited to see your impact in the next stage of your career with us at @theRPA 👏

Simon is an incredible human being, committed to making the world a better place. Like many charities, Speakeasy Club is up against the challenges. Please engage in the initiatives Simon selflessly creates.

6 months before we may have to close Speakeasy and the clubhouse doors. Please watch till the end 🙏🏻 We’re more determined than ever that what we’re trying to do is important and much needed, and my god do we want to keep going and continue what we’ve started. But the realities of life are becoming all too, well, real. So we need your help! #lookaftertheboys

Tough watch for England fans but credit to Ireland. As always, a great day at @allianz_stad, and enjoyed the opportunity to host a couple of Q&As pre match with two legends in @lutherburrell & Mat Tait, who’ve become great friends over the years. That was fun. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪 @theRPA
