Waterlooville AFC are delighted to announce the appointment of Harley Taylor as the club continues laying strong foundations for long-term growth and development.
As the club enters an exciting new chapter, the focus is firmly on building the right structure from day one. Establishing clear standards, creating a positive culture and investing in committed individuals are central to the vision driving Waterlooville AFC forward. Harley’s arrival represents an important step in that process.
Although the club is at the beginning of its journey, the ambition is clear. Waterlooville AFC is determined to develop a progressive, organised and community-driven football environment where players are supported both on and off the pitch. That ambition requires the right people — individuals who bring energy, professionalism and a genuine desire to help shape something meaningful from the ground up.
Harley joins having already gained valuable experience working alongside respected figures within youth football at Gosport. Through that exposure, he has developed an understanding of structured coaching environments, player development pathways and the importance of consistency in standards. Those experiences have helped shape a modern and forward-thinking approach that aligns perfectly with the club’s long-term objectives.
From the outset, Harley’s enthusiasm and commitment stood out. His willingness to contribute, learn and grow within the role reflects the culture the club is striving to create one built on collaboration, continuous improvement and shared responsibility. Starting a new football project requires dedication and belief, and Harley has shown both in abundance.
Waterlooville AFC’s aim is not simply to participate, but to build something sustainable. That means focusing on development, establishing clear football principles and creating an environment where young players can progress with confidence. Appointments like this are part of a carefully considered plan to ensure that the club grows in the right way.
The committee have expressed their confidence in Harley’s ability to make a positive impact as the club develops its structure and prepares for the challenges ahead. With strong support around him, he will play an important role in helping to shape standards and contribute to the club’s early growth.
Beginning a new chapter brings excitement, opportunity and responsibility. Waterlooville AFC is proud to be assembling a group of individuals who are committed to building something special for the local community. Harley’s arrival strengthens that foundation.
Everyone at the club would like to formally welcome Harley and wish him every success as we continue building the future of Waterlooville AFC together.
