Assistant Head Coach Tom Culshaw arrived at Blundell Park in August 2026 with an outstanding coaching pedigree, bringing experience from some of the biggest clubs in British football, including Liverpool, Rangers and Aston Villa, as well as a spell in the Saudi Pro League with Al Ettifaq.
A UEFA Pro Licence coach, Culshaw has spent more than a decade working at the elite level of the game, developing young players and supporting first-team environments.
After beginning his coaching career within Liverpool’s Academy, where he spent seven years working across a number of age groups, Culshaw formed a successful coaching partnership with Steven Gerrard. The pair worked together with Liverpool’s Under-18s before moving on to Rangers, where they helped guide the Glasgow club to the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership title, ending Celtic’s run of nine consecutive league championships.
Culshaw then joined Gerrard’s coaching staff at Aston Villa in the Premier League before following him to Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq in 2023.
Prior to moving into coaching, Culshaw progressed through Liverpool’s Academy as a player, captaining the club’s reserve side after representing England at Under-15 and Under-16 level.
