England Lacrosse is delighted to announce the appointment of Dominic Charlson as the new Senior England Men’s Team Manager.

Charlson, who plays at Rochdale Lacrosse Club, will take a lead in the planning and delivery of a world class operations plan for the senior men’s team as they head towards the 2023 World Lacrosse World Championship in San Diego, CA.

His role will include managing team logistics in conjunction with England Lacrosse and working with the Head Coach at all stages of planning and execution.

Charlson first got involved in the game after watching it on top of a trailer in his dad’s haulage yard in Rochdale over 20 years ago before he started playing for his hometown club shortly after; unfortunately, he tore the ligaments in his left ankle and was forced to take a break from the game while they healed.

Fast forward 21 years (and a very very long break!) when Charlson’s son came home from school one day and announced he had starting playing “this game at school called lacrosse” and wanted to play it more regularly at club level.

Upon Charlson’s return to Rochdale Lacrosse Club with his son, he met Tony Nugent, who remembered him from all those years ago and twisted his arm to make his long-awaited return to the lacrosse field.

A logistics and transport expert by trade, Charlson has recently retired after starting, growing, and selling his last business and is looking forward to giving back to the game.

“I enjoy lacrosse and I'm hoping that I can help the England team to be as good as they can be.

“It's such a good game that’s so inclusive which was one of the main reasons I started playing all those years ago.

“I'm very lucky to have retired quite early in life, so I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into a new project!”
