Really excited to have joined Bedford Town FC.
A brilliant opportunity to join Harry & the staff, & work with a brilliant group of players.
Looking forward to the challenge ahead and playing my part in what we hope will be a successful season.
Up the Eagles! 🦅

Everyone entitled to their opinion, but there should always context…
Woeful score lines? Absolutely!
but.. the group is very young, & inexperienced. Lots of work needed to be done (obviously).. we are all well aware. it’s called coaching.. and takes time ⚽️

📣 WE NEED YOU!!! 📣
It is “Recruitment Week” here at ATFC, as we look to complete our team, with a few crucial roles for which we are still missing willing volunteers.
First up is a role which cannot be understated or undervalued. If you ask any ex pro who was the most impotent person in the dressing room, the “Kit Person” would be right up there.
We offer lots of perks, including free Matchday tickets to home and away games and free hot food and drink at home matches. 🍔 🥤 🎟️
Plus, we are a really nice bunch of people to work with 😂 You don’t even have to do any washing, as that is all taken care of. Just the transportation and arranging of the kit to and from games, most notably away fixtures.
You must have your own method transport. 🚙
If you think you can help, or know someone that might be interested, PLEASE get in touch 🙏 DM’s, post comments, email - [email protected] , Messenger Pigeons, Smoke Signals, Morse Code, Message in a Bottle… Whatever works.

The role would involve regularly updating our social media platforms to drive engagement and supporter growth via those channels. Duties include creating exciting new content, providing matchday updates, conducting interviews, and responding to our DMs.
