Fleetwood Town bring back a familiar face to Highbury

Former Fleetwood Town player Youl Mawene has made a return to the club.

He is back at Highbury after taking the position as head of sports science, replacing James Barrow.

Mawene first joined the club as a player in the summer of 2012 following their promotion into the Football League.

He made 21 league and cup appearances for the club during that season before retiring from playing.

Mawene then began to work with the coaching team and was a member of the sport science department, working alongside a number of managers at Highbury until the summer of 2020.

That was when he made the move to League Two club Salford City, only to make his return to the Fylde coast a year later.
