6 TIGERS ACADEMY The Hull Tigers Academy develops talented young footballers from the age of eight to twenty-one. There have been significant developments at the Academy in the last 18 months, as the club continues in its quest to achieve Category Two status and recruit players of outstanding potential that can be nurtured into future first team regulars. In line with the Football Association s Charter of Quality, the Academy prepares players of the future for the club and enables them to progress both on and off the field. There is no doubt that the profile of being a Barclays Premier League club, and the success which has come with it in reaching a first-ever FA Cup Final in 2014 and playing European football for the first time in the club s 111-year history, has generated a considerable amount of excitement and enthusiasm for the game among local youngsters. The club is eager to tap into that, so that there will be more locally born players in the first team squad in the long-term future. Tony Pennock - Academy Manager Tony was appointed as Academy Manager in February 2014 after previously holding the same position for over five years at Swansea City s Academy. Before embarking on a coaching career, he played professional and semi-professional football for 16 seasons. Tony joined the Football Association of Wales as Football Development Officer in 2003 and also spent three seasons as first team goalkeeper coach at Swansea. He managed both the Wales semi-professional team and Under-23 squad prior to his role as Academy Manager at Swansea and gained his UEFA Pro Licence in 2009. Tony completed his Masters in Performance Coaching in December 2015. Jon Beale- Head of Academy Coaching Jon was appointed as Professional Development Phase Coach, working with the Academy s Under-18 squad, in May 2014 before being promoted to the role of Head of Academy Coaching eight months later.
