Steve Wigley back at Fulham as Under-18s coach

Steve Wigley returns to Fulham as Under-18s coach a year after leaving the role to become Nottingham Forest assistant.

Fulham have announced the return of Steve Wigley as coach of the club's Under-18s.

The 53-year-old left the same Cottagers role a year ago to become Stuart Pearce's assistant at Nottingham Forest, but left that post in February when Pearce was dismissed.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time here previously and only left to take up an opportunity that was too exciting to turn down and which has proved to be been an incredibly valuable learning experience for me," Wigley told Fulham's website.

"Fulham is a great club with a fantastic crop of young talent who I'm really keen to work with, so I'm looking forward to seeing some old friends again and getting out on the training pitch with the young lads and hopefully replicating some of the successes we saw previously."

During his first stint in charge of Fulham's U18s, Wigley led the team to the final of the FA Youth Cup, where they were beaten on penalties by West London neighbours Chelsea.
