Strong leadership is essential to the success of any grassroots club, and at Walton Warriors, our Chair plays a vital role in shaping the vision, maintaining our values, and ensuring the club continues to thrive. We’re proud to have Paul Devine as our current Chair—a long-standing member of the club, local resident, and passionate advocate for youth football. Paul brings dedication, integrity, and deep community ties to the role, helping to lead the club into its next chapter.

A robust governance structure underpins everything we do, with safeguarding at the heart of our approach. Our Welfare Officer, Anna Yates, works closely with Paul and our coaching teams to proactively review and address any potential safeguarding concerns. This ensures we provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all players.

Prudent financial management is vital, and our treasurer, Geoff Wootton, provides the foundations for our very competitive annual subscription, which is fully supported by ongoing investment in kit, equipment, and facilities.

Enabling boys’ and girls’ teams to play regularly across several leagues requires strong rigour and complete club oversight. Our club secretary, James Felton, effectively oversees our governance and compliance, building trust and respect across the club.

We seek to communicate as simply as possible both through this website and other platforms. Parent liaison is crucial, and through our newsletters, briefing notes and social media updates, everyone is kept up to speed with relevant events.
