May 1st 2023, Austin, TX - FC Westlake is thrilled to announce the appointment of Wayne Bartlett as the new Director of Coaching for the club. Wayne joins FC Westlake following his successful tenure as Executive Director and Director of Coaching at Boerne Soccer Club.

During his time at Boerne Soccer Club, Wayne oversaw tremendous growth, developing players and coaches at all levels of the organization, in addition to managing off-field operations. His experience and leadership abilities made him the ideal candidate to support FC Westlake's coaching staff and help build upon the continued success of the club.

Born and raised in London, England, prior to moving to the U.S. in 2013, Wayne earned his English FA Level 1 & 2 coaching qualifications after injuries as a player led him to a career in coaching.  He has since earned his NSCAA (now USC) National Diploma, National Youth License, USC Director of Coaching Diploma, and USSF A License. Wayne has developed players that have gone on to play at both collegiate and professional academies and has also served as a lead coach in the South Texas Olympic Development Program (ODP), which has included roles as a member of the ODP Regional coaching staff, as well as leading Texas teams to compete overseas in Dortmund, Germany, and Barcelona, Spain. Wayne is also an appointed member of the WDDOA Directors Council and STYSA Competitions Committee.

"I am honored and excited to be joining such a great organization,"; said Wayne Bartlett. "I look forward to working with the staff, leadership, players, and parents to build upon the club's strong foundation, to continue the development, and positively impact players and coaches at all levels of the club."

Wayne is relocating to Westlake with his wife, Patrice, and three children, Errol (7), Etta (5), and Bron (2).

FC Westlake is excited to welcome Wayne on board, and we look forward to the dedication, passion, and expertise that he will bring to the club.

Welcome, Wayne!
