Based in Cannock, Sportz Connexions is headed up by former Chelsea, Derby, and Northern Ireland professional international striker Kevin Wilson. Kevin holds both a UEFA Pro License and a Professional Academy Manager License.

Throughout his career, Kevin turned out for Derby, Ipswich, Chelsea, Nott s County, Bradford City, Walsall, and Northampton; playing over 700 professional games, most of which were played in England’s top flight. Kevin also managed to rack up over 40 appearances for Northern Ireland.

Following his playing career, Kevin stepped into management at Division Two side Northampton Town as a player-coach, where he won manager of the month twice. Kevin went on to manage Bedford, Aylesbury, Kettering, Hucknall, Corby, Ilkeston, and most recently, Nuneaton.

During his managerial career, Kevin developed a philosophy in which he believed in taking on young players who had been rejected by teams higher up in the football pyramid, mentoring them and rebuilding their confidence, and providing them with the opportunity of first-team football. This philosophy has seen countless players revive their careers. Notable names include Che Adams (released by Leicester, signed by Kevin at Ilkeston, now at Birmingham City), Ash Hunter (released by Burton, signed by Kevin at Ilkeston, now at Fleetwood), and Callum Chettle (released by Nottingham Forest, signed by Kevin at Nuneaton, now at Peterborough).
