On September 26th, Bromley formally announced the arrival of Ross McNeilly as head coach of Bromley B.
As far as coups go, this is a pretty big one. At the age of just 35, Ross is a UEFA A Licence coach with extensive experience at youth level with Sunderland and Aldershot Town. Throw in a nineteen-game spell as Aldershot manager and a stretch as first-team head coach at Dorking and you have a man who seems more than capable of polishing Bromley’s academy gems.
Hailing from the North East, McNeilly has been on a journey that has taken him from Leeds to Sunderland and now London, developing a clear idea of what progressive youth development should look like. Having experienced both Football League and non-league academy systems, McNeilly understands the transformation that Bromley are undergoing as they transition from an ambitious National League club into an established EFL name, which is what he expressed to me when I spoke to him this week.
