Joe Jackson joins city college
Saturday 30th October 2010, 8:20AM BST.
The City of Wolverhampton College has appointed an ex-Wolves player to take up a new position.
Former midfield player Joe Jackson is now the football development co-ordinator at the college’s £6 million Football Development Centre, at the college’s Wellington Road Campus.
He was previously a sports lecturer at the college, having joined the staff in 2002 to deliver the NVQ football coaching programme and the sports development programme.
He is charged with involving the business community and the general public in using the football centre. He said: “We are already in partnership with a number of local organisations. These include Wolves and the Bilston Partnership Youth League, which houses around 250 teams.”
He was born and grew up in Whitmore Reans and made his Wolves debut at 17, staying at the club for four years before going into non-league football, including managing Bilston Town.
