Stephen Elliott appointed Wexford boss

First Division Wexford have unveiled the appointment of Stephen Elliott as the club’s new first-team manager.

Elliott, a former Ireland international, takes over the reins of the Slaneysiders from previous manager James Keddy.

The Dubliner led the Ferrycarrig Park outfit to two successive playoff finishes.

And fellow Dublin native Elliott takes charge having previously served as St Pat’s academy manager.

“First and foremost I am extremely grateful to all involved at the football club to be given the opportunity to be a first team manager for the first time,” Elliott said.

“I am proud and privileged to have the opportunity to lead and represent Wexford FC as manager going forward.

“A big part of the future of this football club lies in the energy, hunger, and talent of our young players.

“Working with a young squad excites me because it’s not just about developing individuals but building a legacy that runs from the academy to the first team.

“I want to create an environment where senior players set the tone, leading by example, and young players know what is required at first team level.

“We want academy players here to know they have a real pathway to success at Wexford FC.

“Together, we aim to create a culture of opportunity, hard work, and belief—which will be engraved in the very fabric of the club.”
