Taylor to stay on as Swansea City Women head coach

Yzzy Taylor enjoyed a successful spell as player and coach at Cardiff Met before moving to Swansea in 2024

Yzzy Taylor has been named head coach of Swansea City Women for the 2025-26 season after taking charge on an interim basis in March.

Former Cardiff Met boss Taylor joined Swansea as assistant to Jamie Sherwood last summer before taking the reins when he left the club.

Taylor, who is also part of the Wales Women Under-19s coaching staff, made a positive impact at the end of what was a disappointing season for Swansea, who finished fifth in the Adran Premier.

"I'm keen to carry the momentum from the end of last season into next season," she said.

"This squad is strong, and I have full confidence in every player to improve and develop ahead of next year's campaign. The hard work starts now."

Swansea's women's team have been semi-professional since 2023, when they formally became part of the men's Championship club.

Swansea chief executive Tom Gorringe said: "We're delighted that Yzzy has committed to the Swans.

"Since she took over as caretaker head coach, we've been on a great run and we're excited to see how the team, under her leadership, can improve next season."
