The University of Delaware soccer program announced the addition of former Delaware player Adam Flanigan in the newly-created position of director of soccer operations.

Flanigan was a four-year letterwinner for the Blue Hens from 2001-04, graduating with a degree in health behavioral management. He scored seven goals and had nine assists for 23 points during his time at UD. He joined the Blue Hen staff after an outstanding career with Kirkwood Soccer Club in which his teams won 10 state championships and two Region 1 titles. In high school, Flanigan was a three-time first-team all-state selection and a two-time regional All-American at St. Mark’s in Wilmington, DE.

“We are delighted to add Adam to the staff here at the program,” said Delaware head coach Ian Hennessy in making the announcement. “Having played at the university and in Delaware as a youth is an added bonus for us because we are still a young coaching staff and there are aspects of the program, the university, and the community we feel he can play a leading role in."

Flanigan, 26, currently resides in Newark, DE.
