UNIVERSITY OF DERBY WOMEN'S FOOTBALL
"Some people think that football is a matter of life or death,
but it's far more important than that"
​
Our Unique Partnership with the University of Derby was enhanced in 2020 with the appointment of UEFA B licensed coach, Mark Russell to the role of Head Coach of the University of Derby Womens Football Squad.
This jointly funded role will see Mark overseeing players that include those operating under both the Football Journalism full bursary scheme and partly funded Scholarship programmes, provided by the University and Derby County.
