Waleed Khan
It’s been a privilege to work with Ross. His dedication and commitment in his role as Academy Manager meant I could rely on him to successfully deliver our objectives, which he did with distinction.
His management skills developed exponentially, and I had no hesitation in recommending him for the First Team Manager role when it became available.
There’s no doubt that Ross will progress to higher levels of football management, and I’ll be following his progress closely

Rhys has had a massive influence on my football career. When it comes to mindset, Rhys has helped me a lot to be on track, be more confident and have more belief on the pitch. In 2020/21 season, Rhys took me under his wing and allowed me to play again after a hard time, which allowed me to enjoy my football and rebuild my confidence.
This turned out to be pivotal when I got back into professional football. I can’t thank him enough for the support he has given me. He has always been there, asking how I am doing and If I need any help with anything.

Ross showed a great eye for technical and tactical detail, and was super supportive in developing players. He is a strong leader and someone I thoroughly enjoyed working with during our time together at Dorking.

Rhys is not only a great person, but a great coach aswell. He changed my whole perspective of football for the greater good. I used to think that everything I do has to be perfect to become a good footballer. This mentality of mine nearly made me quit football. When I made mistakes, I thought I wasn't good enough.
However, Rhys showed me that making mistakes was a normal part of the game and that I should see mistakes as a positive, as it develops my learning and understanding. One thing I admire most about Rhys is his character.
He is honest, trustworthy and very driven. Rhys would always look for ways to improve his players. He always set high quality drills for us players, which made us better in many areas. The reason why many people thrive with Rhys is because he makes you comfortable playing football around him. He doesn’t put pressure on you and always reminds you to enjoy the game.

Captaining for Ross was a pleasure. He’s unapologetically positive, even when the easiest way to behave would be the opposite. He encourages players to take responsibility be accountable for their actions and keep to the high standards he requires. I know Ross will be a successful manager and look forward to seeing his career unfold.

I would like to start off by saying thank you to Rhys, for what he has made me think about whilst starting my coaching journey. Not only is Rhys a great coach, but he’s also one of the few people that look between the lines on and off the pitch. This is something I saw on a day-to-day basis whilst working with him.
His knowledge of teams, players, leagues, and coaching points always gets you thinking in a different way, and this is something I loved about working with him. He is professional in every aspect and works tirelessly for others, helping young players and the staff reach their full potential and targets. This is something Rhys loves to do.

Since meeting Rhys, he has played an important and influential part in my professional career. We first met when I joined Dorking Wanderers B team. At the time, I was finding football quite difficult, and he gave me the freedom to enjoy football once again. Although I was playing, at an easier level than I was used to, he challenged me to work on different parts of my game in various positions.
He taught me how to communicate the things I see on the pitch to those who may not have the experience I have had. Rhys is a top coach who wants to best and genuinely cares for the development of players. He understands that football is more than a game. Rhys taught me that training your mindset is just as important, if not more important than your technical ability. Although I am currently injured, Rhys and I still speak.
This is because Rhys got to know me on a personal level. We don’t only speak about football, but life in general; our children, family what it means to us, how we use life to encourage us going forward. I’ll always appreciate every bit of support he has given me. Injuries can be very challenging, especially long-term ones. However, I know Rhys’ support will always be there and I believe that’s what every footballer needs to be successful.

Rhys has been a pivotal part of my professional development and giving me opportunity as a footballer. This started from recognising me as a player and recruiting me in his time at Wolves as an academy scout. He has continued to provide valuable support, mentoring and coaching advice.
His performance mindset programme has been very insightful and has helped me to take a further step in not necessarily my football ability, but my ability to perform and prioritise my time to get better results on the pitch.
