John Clee-Charlton:

"I am very happy to be working with Dynamo Juniors as Director of Goalkeeping.  Being a keeper is a passion, not just a position in a soccer team. The players that choose to be goalkeepers are a special breed.  They are the last line of defense and they carry a lot of weight on their shoulders. One mistake, and it can change the flow of a game, or one moment of brilliance and strength, can lift a team to a higher level.  I can’t wait for the opportunity to pass on the knowledge and passion I have for being a keeper."
