Georgia Southern Head Women's Soccer Coach Brian Dunleavy announced the addition of Josh Moffet to the Eagles coaching staff for the 2019-20 season today.
Moffet joins the Eagles from Oak City United where he served as head coach. He also has served as the assistant coach and head of recruitment for men's and women's soccer at Shaw University since 2017.
"I am thrilled to add Josh to our coaching staff," said Coach Dunleavy. "After a very extensive search, Josh stood out because he possesses the qualities we were looking for in a candidate. He will be a major asset to our program in identifying talent, running training sessions, and his main area of expertise is in the attacking phase of play. This will be a big benefit to our players, we've got a great group of young forwards coming in this fall so I'm excited for Josh to get to work."
In 2016, Moffet became the assistant coach for the boys' varsity team at Habersham Central High School in Clarkesville, Georgia. During that time, he also served as head coach for the U12 Academy and U19 Classic 2 programs at Rapids FC. He then moved to Emmanuel College where he was an assistant coach for the men's team during the fall of 2016.
Moffet moved to Cleveland, Georgia to attend Truett McConnell University in 2011 after playing soccer professionally in the second division for Morecambe Football Club. While in England, he also attended Lancaster and Morecambe College in Lancaster, England. Moffet recently graduated with his Master's from Shaw University.
"Firstly, I want to thank Coach Brian for trusting and believing in me to become his new assistant coach," Moffet said. "The opportunity to join Brian and his team is an amazing opportunity, and I am very excited to be apart of future successes of the program. I started my coaching career in Georgia at Habersham High School under, mentor and friend, Ric Wallace before making the jump into collegiate soccer."
"Following 2 years in North Carolina, coaching and graduating from my Masters, it's great to be heading back to my "home state". Finally, I want to thank my family for their constant support especially my Mum, Dad, Sister, and Wife (Alicia). I am excited to become an Eagle, and join the family at Georgia Southern University. #GATA."
