Chadwick Returns To Everton Academy

Everton can confirm the appointment of Nick Chadwick as Individual Development Lead Coach.

The former Blues forward – who came through the Club’s Academy and represented the Toffees between 2001 and 2005 – returns to Everton having gained a wealth of experience since previously coaching the Under-10s and Under-11s from 2010 to 2012.

Commencing in September, Chadwick’s new role will centre on integrating individual players’ learning objectives with their practical application in both training environments and competitive matches.

He joins Everton after Player Development Lead Coach Dan Micciche left the Club in April to become Head of Academy at Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli.

As a player, Chadwick made more than 280 senior appearances. A product of Everton Academy, he experienced loan spells at Derby County and Millwall, before moving on to play for Plymouth Argyle, Hereford United, Shrewsbury Town, Chester City, Barrow, Stockport County, and then Plymouth again, before retiring at Tamworth.

A coaching career began while he was still playing. Following his work in Everton’s Academy, he became an Under-16s coach in his second spell at Plymouth.

After retiring as a player, he joined Warrington Town as Academy Manager, before operating as Under-15s coach at Blackburn Rovers, and then having more than four years at Wigan Athletic as Senior PDP Lead, Under-23s and Under-18s coach.

Chadwick then spent two seasons as Assistant Manager at AFC Fylde and had eight months in the same role at Rochdale, ahead of two years with Wrexham where he was Lead PDP and Head of Player Pathway and Development.
