Head coach Ash Thompson took over the first team in the summer of 2024/25 after a three-year spell in the club's academy, culminating in a Professional Game Academy Cup success in his final game as Under 21s manager in April 2024.
Previously of Guiseley Vixens and Leeds United, Thompson is assisted by long-term assistant head coach Luke Turner, who initially joined the club in 2020.
Turner has served as interim head coach on several occasions and alongside goalkeeper coach Carl Kennedy make up a trio of coaches who have been part of the Blades setup for several seasons.
They are complemented by analyst Ben Lewis, performance coach Aaron O'Connor, Head of Physiotherapy Chris Hattersley and Physiotherapist Sean Bowskill, and club doctor Anna Williams.
Behind the scenes, Aaron Little serves as Head of Women's and Girls' Football since arriving in September 2023 after a spell at Women's Super League side Everton, bringing vital top-level experience to the day-to-day running of the women's set up.
Joined recently by new First Team Operations Lead Lynsey Lockey, the pair make up a team off the pitch, including Safeguarding Lead Jayne Milne, Player Care Lead Sarah Taylor-Hunt and Marketing and Content Lead Kate Atkinson.
