Kennington Juniors Football Club are devastated to have lost an integral member of our coaching team and Executive Committee. Arran was in his fifth season as a coach, having started with his son’s U8 team, who are now U12s. Arran had put immense time, effort, and energy into the club, not just as a member of the Exec, but most importantly as a coach. He recently achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming only the second UEFA B-qualified coach at the club — a moment we were all immensely proud of.

Arran embodied what it means to be a great coach, leader, and mentor. He was patient, kind, thoughtful, and inspiring, with an infectious enthusiasm for coaching and helping people. We were all excited to see where this journey would lead him, and we’re left numb and in shock that he won’t get to see it through.

Arran’s passion and values will live on in the players he inspired. Arran was so loved and will be dearly missed. All at Kennington Juniors send our thoughts and love to Arran’s family, his team, and everyone impacted by his loss.

The funds raised will be used to support Arran’s family at this very difficult time.
