Weller lands role

Last updated : 14 September 2006 By Tony Scholes

Paul has been involved for some time, as well as being a coach with the club's Centre of Excellence and he's now won the Community Manager's position following the departure of Darren Finch.

Head of Community Nick Harrison was delighted with the news and said: “Paul's appointment is an excellent addition to our team and I look forward to working with him to further develop our grass roots coaching programme.”

Weller's Turf Moor playing career ended on the last day of the 2003/04 season when he was in the Burnley team that lost to Sunderland at the end of a season when we avoided relegation in the last week.

In the following season he played five League Two games for Rochdale and also appeared for a couple of non-league clubs and then in August 2005 he trained with Carlisle. He made an appearance against the Clarets in a reserve game at Accrington and followed that up with a few games for Workington. But injury forced him out and he hung up his boots at the age of 31.

We would like to wish him well in his new role at Turf Moor.
