Ferdinand takes first coaching role at Hornchurch

The Story So Far
Anton Ferdinand has secured his first official coaching role after joining the backroom staff at Hornchurch. The former West Ham United defender has been integrated into the National League side’s management team as part of notable recent recruitment. Ferdinand will work alongside Robert Lee at the club, marking a new chapter in his footballing career following his retirement from professional play. Having previously spent several years as a key member of the Hammers' defensive line, the former centre-half now transitions into a technical position. This move provides the retired player with an opportunity to gain coaching experience in a dugout environment within the non-league game.
