Toolstation NCEL Division One side Hallam have this week appointed their first ever community officer.

A statement said: "We are delighted to welcome Josh Barnsley to Sandygate who brings a wealth of football experience with him having worked previously at Sheffield Wednesday in a similar role."

Barnsley added: "I am delighted to have been appointed Hallam FC's community officer. It's such a privilege to be a part of the club's history. I do believe this is the first time Hallam have had an appointed community officer and I cannot wait to get started.

"I think it's important for the club to show that it means business off the field as well as on the field."

He will be working on community activities such as schools coaching, soccer schools, ladies football and after-school activities in a bid to help improve health and well-being whilst also promoting sport and inclusion within the community.

The projects will also focus on improving fitness opportunities for the retired and he will be linking with schools, disability groups, health agencies and other local organisations and businesses across Sheffield.
