Galveston Pirates have once again made a enormous step in progressing the step toward NPSL soccer with the news that they have brought Gerardo Romero on board as goalkeeping coach for the upcoming 2012 season.
Gerardo brings with him an immense amount of experience between the sticks and joins an already huge bank of soccer experience in current coaches Brendan Keyes and Noel Mulhall.
This move by owner and head coach Keyes strengthens the backroom staff to a professional level that has thus far been unseen at the Galveston soccer side, and shows the strides the side is taking in preparation for the move up to the 4th tier soccer in the country.
Romero has a vast goalkeeping pedigree with professional spells in the Mexican Division 1a and has been trained by ex Mexican National team members Jesus Alfaro and Adrian Chavez so lacks no degree of skill or enthusiasm.
Gerardo himself said of the appointment:"First of all I would like to thank Brendan Keyes and the Pirate SC for giving me the opportunity to be part of the club. I will bring in all my past experience both on and off the field to help give the club positive results as the goalkeeper trainer."
Pirate owner and head coach also spoke on the appointment,"I have known Gerardo since our time in the SPSL together where he owned the Lone strikers side and I am really excited about having him on board. This propels us into the stratosphere in terms of coaching staff at this club, the players will really see a massive improvement in all areas of the field with this new addition. From back to front this will make us a better team unit."
There is a real opportunity here for the Pirates to move forward with skill and performance levels and with the NPSL season only 5 or 6 months away, it gives Gerardo plenty of time to assess the current keepers available to him which enables him to train and coach them to the level required for NPSL soccer.
