Assistant head coach Justin Walker has been awarded his UEFA Pro Licence.
The 47-year-old completed the 18-month course with England Football Learning, the Football Association’s education arm, during the close season to attain the highest professional coaching qualification.
He was presented with his certificate by Chris Ramsey, Queens Park Rangers’ technical director, and John McDermott, the FA's technical director, at a graduation ceremony at the National Football Museum.
Justin was among 24 graduates in the 2023 cohort, including former England internationals Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole and Jonathan Woodgate.
The programme is meticulously designed to cultivate exceptionally skilled and ambitious leaders, managers and coaches who possess the prowess to foster enduring success in the game.
Justin joined the Tigers last November to assist Liam Rosenior, with whom he worked at Derby County, where he held the role of first-team development coach after formerly overseeing the Under-18s.
