Stuart Andrew Searle (born 27 February 1979) [2] is an English football manager and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He is currently the goalkeeping coach of United States women's national soccer team.
Born in Wimbledon, London, [2] Searle joined Premier League team Chelsea from Basingstoke Town as back-up for their reserve team and as a player-coach, before working there part-time. [3]
He moved to Championship team Watford in January 2009, which re-united him with former Chelsea reserve team manager Brendan Rodgers, who had been appointed as Watford manager in November 2008. [4] In July 2009 his contract at Watford was cancelled by mutual consent and he subsequently signed a two-year contract with League One team Milton Keynes Dons. [5] [6]
Stuart made his long-awaited Football League debut in 2010 against Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium. He remained at MK Dons in 2010–11, making a start against Yeovil Town in a 3–2 win. [7] However, after MK Dons' loss to Peterborough in the N-Power League play-off semi-final he was released along with three other players.
While still a player, Searle began coaching in various roles at Chelsea, including a two-year stint as player-coach for Chelsea Reserves. [3]
After retiring from playing, Searle joined Guildford City as assistant manager in 2015. [8]
2012–2024, Searle was the goalkeeping coach at Chelsea Women. [9]
Since 2024, Searle is the goalkeeping coach with the United States women's national soccer team. [10]
