Essex Women and Team Director Andy Tennant have agreed to part ways.
During his time with the Club, Andy has brought dedication and passion, whilst building a strong coaching team alongside Performance Director Danni Warren to establish the foundations of the Club’s new professional team.
Reflecting on the decision, Andy said: “With the break in the fixtures for the Hundred, it has been an opportunity for both the Club and myself to reflect and look ahead to next season. Following those conversations, it feels like now is the right time to step aside and seek my next opportunity.
I am proud of what we have achieved together as a group and I would like to thank Essex for giving me the opportunity to continue the job we started with the Sunrisers three years ago.
I wish the Club well and I am confident this outstanding group of young female athletes will continue to develop and go from strength to strength.”
Danni Warren, Essex Women’s Performance Director added: “I have built a strong working relationship with Andy since he joined the Sunrisers in 2022, which culminated in the Rachel Heyhoe Flint Trophy triumph during our final season in 2024.
The transition of the group to Essex has been an exciting challenge, and Andy’s hard work in ensuring this process was as seamless as possible has been hugely important to the progress we have made on and off the field.
He should be proud of what he has achieved during his time at the Club, which has also included many individuals starring in this year’s Hundred competition and representing their country at international level.
We all wish him the very best of luck in his future endeavours within the game.”
In the interim, Jason Gallian will lead the existing coaching staff in preparing the squad for the remaining four matches of the season, with the support of Danni Warren. The search for a permanent replacement will commence in the close season.
