Head Coach Tom Cleverley has made an addition to his technical staff, with Mike Stowell joining as Argyle’s new Goalkeeping Coach.
The 60-year-old has extensive coaching experience having spent 16 years at Leicester City, mainly as the Foxes goalkeeping coach but also had six periods in caretaker charge as well.
Stowell was goalkeeping coach during the East Midlands side’s incredible Premier League title-winning season in 2015/16, and worked with an array of top-level goalkeepers during his time at the club.
He also spent time with Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel as they won the league title and reached the last 16 of the UEFA Europa Conference League. Stowell has most recently been working with Bristol City Women on a short-term basis.
Cleverley is delighted to bring him to Argyle, commenting: “Mike impressed us all greatly with his knowledge and experience during the recruitment process.
“He is someone I know following my loan spell with Leicester City as a player, and he will add real expertise to my technical staff, both from a goalkeeping and wider coaching perspective.
“I was insistent in the summer on bringing the right players to Argyle, and it is no different with staff members. I am really pleased we have managed to bring a coach of Mike’s calibre to the club.”
Argyle Head of Football Operations, David Fox, added: “Mike had incredible longevity at a top football club like Leicester City which shows just how good a coach he is.
“He will bring vast knowledge to the role and work closely with our talented crop of goalkeepers in Conor, Luca and Zak to continue their growth and development.
“He will complement the wider technical staff perfectly and has really bought into what we are trying to achieve here at Argyle. I want to welcome him to the club and look forward to working with him closely moving forward.”
Stowell will begin his role immediately and everyone at the club would like to welcome him to Argyle.
