Playing career

Nevin began his playing career at Shrewsbury Town, before playing college soccer whilst studying at the University of Evansville in the United States. [1] [3] In 1991, Nevin returned to England, making eight Football League appearances for Carlisle United, as the club finished bottom of the Football League. [4] Following his spell at Carlisle, Nevin joined Yeovil Town for two seasons, making 48 appearances in all competitions, [5] [6] before retiring from football at the age of 24, due to injury. [7]

Coaching career

Nevin began his coaching career at Fulham in the United Kingdom, where he spent eight years in several roles, including academy and reserve team manager. He then accepted an invitation to improve the fortunes of the struggling New Zealand Knights, who competed in the Australian Hyundai A League. Nevin was appointed as manager following the departure of former coach John Adshead at the completion of the 2005–06 A-League season. [8]

Following his tenure in New Zealand, Nevin then took up a position at Aspire Academy in Qatar in 2007. He was responsible for developing players for Qatar's junior and senior national teams, while also being involved in coach development. Nevin has coached in Africa, China and Brazil, and was also a regular guest presenter on the Al Jazeera Sports Channel.

Following a successful five years in the Middle East, Nevin returned to the Premier League as head of coaching at Norwich City. This spell at the club also saw him promoted to the role of First Team Coach. In 2014, Nevin was approached by the Premier League to become head of academy coach development, a role that saw Nevin work with all the Premier League and Category One clubs, and support each of them with their Coach Development programmes. Nevin has also worked with the FA as a coach with the youth national teams. [9]

In October 2018, Nevin was temporarily appointed to Gareth Southgate's England national team coaching staff as part of the FA's BAME coaching initiative across all national teams. [10] Nevin remained with the Three Lions through to their third-place finish at the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals.

In February 2020, Nevin was appointed as first team coach at West Ham United. [11]

On 31 August 2021, it was confirmed that Nevin had returned to the England coaching staff alongside his West Ham duties. [12]

Nevin left West Ham in July 2023 to join Strasbourg. [13]

On 23 August 2024, Nevin was placed in charge of England U20s on an interim basis. [2] Nevin joined Stoke City on 1 January 2025 as assistant manager to Mark Robins. [14]
