Bloody hell....That's unexpected!! He was a decent player but a bit of a stange appointment?!
The former Blackburn, Leeds, Leicester and Blackpool winger has a wealth of footballing experience to draw on and has already been a key part of the City academy set up as coach of the under 13 side that swept all before them in 2012/13.
After being released by the Blues as a teenager, Jason came through the youth system at Rovers where he featured in an FA Youth Cup final, before making over 300 appearances for the senior team and tasting league title success in 1995
Now, the former England international is excited to take on a new challenge with the City under 18 side and pass on his knowledge at this crucial stage of their footballing development.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for me and a great privilege,” he revealed. “Everyone is talking about Manchester City and to have this role now as we look to move forward into the new complex is fantastic. I’m looking forward to the season ahead.
“It’s a really exciting for time for the boys and hopefully I can pass my experiences – good and bad – onto the players. Many years ago I was here as a 15 year old and now it’s almost come full circle.”
