Elys will continue in his role as Women’s First Team Manager, following an outstanding debut season in charge during the 2024/25 campaign — a year that saw the team win the Shropshire Women’s League and secure promotion, while also finishing runners-up in the Shropshire League Cup.

This new role reflects both Elys’ exceptional impact on the pitch and the club’s growing commitment to building a long-term, sustainable, and high-performing women’s football programme.

As Head of Women’s Football, Elys will lead the development of the entire women’s structure at Telford Town — from first team operations to youth and development teams. His responsibilities will include shaping the club’s female football pathway, supporting coaching recruitment, strengthening community outreach, and helping establish Telford Town as a respected force in the regional women’s game.

Elys said “Women’s football is something I care deeply about, and I’m incredibly proud to take on this role, We’ve made great progress with the first team, but this is about building something even bigger — a pathway for local girls to dream of representing Telford Town at senior level. The club has real ambition and backs the women’s game heavily there’s so much potential here, and I’m excited to get to work.”

Club Chairman Hayden Dando added:

“Women’s football is very important to me and to the future of this football club. Elys has done a phenomenal job with the first team and is the perfect person to lead our women’s programme into its next phase. His passion, professionalism, and vision align perfectly with the club’s values.”

This appointment marks a significant step forward for Telford Town FC, with further announcements to follow on youth development, new team formations, and community involvement in the women’s game.
