Former Reggae Boyz striker Ricardo Fuller has completed his graduation from the PFA Professional Player to Coach scheme.

The Professional Player to Coach Scheme is a joint programme from the PFA, the Premier League and the EFL, designed to increase the number of Black, South Asian and Minority Ethnic players who transition into full-time coaching roles in the professional game.

The scheme provides up to six coaches per season with a 23-month intensive work placement at an EFL club, within the Academy or First Team environment.

Each coach works through an individualized learning and development programme during their placement, incorporating a variety of football functions.

This usually includes physical performance and conditioning, recruitment, analysis, administration and coaching different age groups.

Fuller is a part of the third cohort of graduates from the program that started in the 2020-21 season and completed his 23-month placement at his former home, Stoke City, working with their academy.

His playing career spanned an incredible 20 years, scoring 134 goals for 14 different clubs.

He earned 72 caps for Jamaica but is arguably best remembered for his exploits with Stoke, playing a starring role in their 2007/08 promotion to the Premier League, and their continued top-flight success.
