Andy Whing
Oporto Sports is delighted to represent Barrow head coach, Andy Whing.
Andy joined Solihull in June 2023, and in 2024, guided them to the National League play-off final and FA Trophy final, falling to agonising penalty shootout defeats in both games at Wembley Stadium, within the space of a week.
Prior to Solihull, Whing steered Banbury United to the Southern League Premier Division Central title, and then kept the club in the National League North, the highest level in the club’s history.
The 39-year-old enjoyed a successful playing career, representing Coventry City, Brighton & Hove Albion (loan), before a permanent move, Chesterfield (loan), Leyton Orient (loan), before a permanent move, and finished his playing days at Oxford United.
Whing’s playing highlights include scoring the last ever goal at Coventry’s Highfield Road ground, making over 100 appearances for the Sky Blues, and being voted as Brighton’s player of the year in 2009, while at Oxford he won supporters’ player of the year in 2012, goal of the season in 2013, captained the side in the 2013/14 season, and is regarded as a cult hero by the club’s supporters.
After his retirement, he was named as PDP coach at Oxford, before becoming U23s head coach and first-team coach at Kidderminster Harriers. In 2018, he returned to Coventry as PDP coach, and then joined Hereford FC as assistant manager in 2019, before his first senior management job at Banbury.
