“We are delighted to welcome Becki to the ACFC coaching staff,” stated ACFC head coach Freya Coombe. “She has many years of experience in the league, a great football mind and is passionate about player development. She is a talented coach that brings experience from the USWYNT and most recently the U-20 World Cup. She is a fantastic person and will be an excellent addition to our environment.”
Tweed, a native of England, played for Bristol City and Millwall and was an England youth international before moving to New Jersey over a decade ago.
