\u201cThe club is pleased to confirm the appointment of Tracey Neville as Managing Director of Stockport County Women,\u201d Stockport posted on their X account.<\/p>\n

\u201cTracey will play a key role in developing clear pathways from grassroots to elite football and helping shape the next phase of Stockport County Women.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old is one of the most recognisable names on English netball having represented England 81 times, winning bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur in 1998 and again in 1999 at the World Netball Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand.<\/p>\n

On her Stockport appointment, Neville said: \u201cI am incredibly proud to be joining Stockport County at such a pivotal moment for the club and for the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy career in elite sport has shown me what is possible when there is\u00a0a clear vision, strong\u00a0leadership\u00a0and a genuine commitment to developing talent from the ground up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen\u2019s football is at a defining point, and Stockport\u00a0has the opportunity to\u00a0do something special.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a community club with deep roots, and my focus will be on creating a clear, credible pathway for girls and women to progress, while building the standards, culture and infrastructure needed to compete at the highest level.<\/p>\n
