A new era begins at Brighouse Town AFC as we welcome back to the club Cara Mahoney who has been named as Player Manager for the club’s newly formed women’s section.
Cara is tasked with bringing back women’s open-age first-team football to Brighouse Town AFC. Joint
Chairs – Chris Lister & James Howard – expressed their delight at the news that Brighouse had now
formerly got a women’s team fully integrated into the football club and that Cara had agreed to take
control of this.
Cara who played for the club for 7 seasons before joining Altofts is excited to build a section to include U18s, U23s and Open age teams to ensure all who wish to play football at Brighouse Town can do so in a positive, nurturing environment that will be built on team values of trust, transparency, and togetherness.
Cara spoke with passion saying “It’s great to be back with Brighouse Town again, they are a special community club close to my heart that has developed a thriving girls’ junior set-up with an ethos of kids being coached and developed to enjoy playing passing football. I’m excited by the prospect of coaching and playing football with these young girls who are the future of our club. It’s also fabulous to have the backing of local businesses such as CP Media and JTD whose backing means we are in good shape even before we kicking off the new 23/24 season”
Cara continued – “We will be holding trails over the summer as we continue to recruit and build the team, if anyone wants to learn more then they just need to get in touch with me directly or email club secretary [email protected].
