Team Biography

Southbrook Pirates u13’s play in Southampton Tyro Division 2. We achieved a very respectable 3rd place last season in our first taste of competitive league football. 

 

The boys really are a great bunch, and form the team from a combination of schools in and around the area. We welcomed 6 new players into the camp for this coming season taking our roster to 16 boys who are ready to tackle their first season at 11-a-side. We are supported by a keen and passionate group of parents, who are no doubt excited about what the new season will bring! #Piratesmassive

 

The coaching team is made up of 3 passionate football people:

 

Manager - Steve Eyles

Steve has Managed Pirates ever since under 7’s. He holds a Level 1 qualification, and is currently studying his UEFA C, hoping to complete before the end of 2023. Coaching is a real passion for Steve, and helping the boys become better players and people in a positive environment is what Pirates is all about. 

 

Assistant Manager - Ken Haynes

Ken has managed or coached a number of Southbrook teams over the years. Ken’s passion for grassroots football is epitomised on Saturday mornings when he coaches Southbrook’s Stars Academy. The 23-24 season will be Ken’s first full season with Pirates and we are lucky to have his experience on board. 

 

Coach - Andy Kater

Andy is as passionate about Pirates as he is his beloved West Ham Utd. We didn’t see him for a few days after their recent Europa Conference League success! Andy’s a student of the game and is a valuable part of the coaching team, always willing to share his views and insights.
