A huge welcome back to Clapton CFC for Chelsie Osborne.

This time Chelsie will be applying her on-pitch talents to coaching. We are delighted to announce that she has been appointed assistant coach for CCFC Women’s/NB Reserves team, where she has already started making an impact, working closely with the team’s head coach, Johanna Kuosa.

Chelsie is part of the club’s history, having played as a full-back for CCFC Women’s First Team, and at AFC Stoke Newington, before the merger in 2019. She made 33 appearances before injuries took their toll. We are excited to have her back!

CCFC will be providing additional support for Chelsie via the Women’s coaching pathway, funding her UEFA C qualification.

Chelsie said: “Football is a big part of who I am and I loved my time playing for Clapton. So when injuries took this away from me, it was tough. Coaching felt like the right step to be apart of the beautiful game again.

“I am grateful to be so warmly welcomed back to Clapton and I am excited for the journey ahead! I hope my experience on the pitch along with what I learn during my coaching badges can support the team to achieve great things”
