Mainland Football is excited to announce that Alana Gunn will be joining the Mainland Football team full-time and taking on many of the duties previously performed by Annalie Longo as Women's Development Officer.

Gunnie has been the head coach of the Canterbury United Pride for the last few years and has been working part-time as the Pride Programme lead over the previous few months. She has been working alongside Annalie in many aspects in developing the women's game and was filling in while Annalie was at the Olympic Games earlier this year. This will ensure an easy and natural transition into these new responsibilities.

We are thrilled to have Gunnie developing the Pride programme in Canterbury, plus the women's game across the Mainland region.
