The Club is pleased to announce Rachel Harris as the new General Manager of Ipswich Town Women.
In what is an important step in the continued growth of the Club’s Women’s team, Rachel’s appointment to the new role is a significant move off the pitch, building on the foundations laid in recent years.
Rachel arrives having previously been at Women’s Championship side London City Lionesses and will oversee off-pitch activity, working to grow the Women and Girls infrastructure to help drive progress on the pitch.
“I’m excited to have joined Ipswich Town and have enjoyed meeting people from across the Club, including CEO Mark Ashton, during my early time here,” Rachel said.
“The Women’s team at the Club already has good foundations in place thanks to the hard work of Joe Sheehan, the staff and the players, and my role is to continue building on the good progress, enabling our future visions to become reality.
“We have a determined and close-knit group of players and staff who work incredibly hard as individuals but also for each other, so I’m excited to have the opportunity to be able to support them to develop and grow off the pitch.”
Town’s Director of Football Operations, Gary Probert, added: “Rachel’s appointment is an important one for the Club, showing our commitment to continually developing the Women’s team and building on the progress made over the last few years.
“She will work closely with Joe, our support staff, and the players, building the Women and Girl’s infrastructure off the pitch and giving us the best platform possible to be successful on it.
“Rachel brings a wealth of experience to the role and we are excited to have her with us as the Women’s team takes another important step forward.”
Town Women are in action away at London Bees this weekend, with the game kicking off at 1.30pm.
