Youth Team

Tim Ryan is the club’s U19 Manager, who manages the Young Minstermen in the National League Alliance Academy North and the FA Youth Cup.

He has been with the club since November 2018, having previously spent time as Assistant Manager at Stalybridge Celtic, Chester City and Buxton earlier in his coaching career.

The former Doncaster Rovers left-back helped the U19’s win the National League Academy Cup during the 2022/23 season, where they beat Woking 1-0 in the final at St Georges Park in Burton.

The club’s Head of Youth has been working within football for over twenty years and has just entered his sixth season in his role with the Minstermen.

Wilson originally joined the club in November 2016 as an U9’s coach, before working his way up the coaching ladder to become Foundation Phase Lead Coach with City.

City’s Head of Youth currently holds his UEFA B licence, and has also previously completed a Masters Degree where he achieved a Distinction in Sports Coaching.
