Braybrook joins Eastleigh backroom team
Following the departure of Paul Williams, Blue Square Bet South club Eastleigh have announced that Kevin Braybrook has agreed to take the role of first-team coach to replace Williams and Matt Gray, who both departed in the summer.
Braybrook joined Eastleigh in June as ‘Head of Recruitment’ as Eastleigh took the ambitious step to take a full-time view on their side to take their place in the Conference South.
Although new to Eastleigh, Braybrook has a whole wealth of background that clearly indicates his knowledge of players at all levels.
The 34-year-old Basingstoke-born former midfielder with Portsmouth, Yeovil Town and Salisbury City, had his playing career cut short through injury and switched his attentions to coaching.
Finishing last season as assistant to Winchester City’s Guy Butters, but that was after Braybrook's coaching expertise gained as one of the youngest coaches in Europe to obtain a UEFA Pro Licence, saw him have successful stints with Southampton's Academy, Bognor Regis Town and AFC Totton.
On his appointment, Braybrook said: “I am delighted to have been asked by Ian Baird to assist him in coaching the first-team at Eastleigh FC.
“I have had recent opportunities to go back into full-time coaching roles at Football League clubs but the chance to work with and support Bairdy, with what I am sure will be an exciting and challenging season, was an opportunity I could not turn down.”
