Tamworth Football Club has appointed Hollis as the new head of academy coaching, strengthening the club's youth development program ahead of the upcoming National League season. The move comes as Tamworth looks to build on a solid 2025 campaign, where they finished 11th with 62 points (17W-11D-18L) and a goal difference of -8 (63 scored, 71 conceded).
Who is Hollis?
Hollis brings a wealth of experience to the role, with a strong background in youth coaching and player development. While specific details about his previous roles were not disclosed, his appointment signals Tamworth's commitment to nurturing young talent. The club has emphasized the importance of developing homegrown players to sustain long-term success in the National League.
Why this matters for Tamworth
The appointment of Hollis is part of Tamworth's broader strategy to enhance their academy and improve player pathways. With the club finishing 46 points behind league leaders York last season, strengthening the youth setup could provide a competitive edge. Tamworth's recent form, including a 5-1 win over Braintree on April 25, 2026, and a current two-game winning streak (2W-2D-1L in their last five), suggests momentum heading into the new season.
What comes next?
Tamworth will now focus on integrating Hollis into the academy structure and finalizing preparations for the 2026-27 season. The club has not yet announced any further coaching or player signings, but fans will be eager to see how the new academy setup contributes to on-field performance. With the National League season still weeks away, Tamworth has time to fine-tune their squad and strategies.
