MARK PETERS
DATE OF BIRTH:- 6/7/72.

A no-nonsense central defender, on the international front he represented Wales at Under-18 and Under-21 levels.

In August 2005 Mark joined Cambridge United as player/coach and then dropped into non-league football with spells at Kings Lynn, St Albans City (as assistant manager) and Weymouth.

In 2014/15 Mark joined the staff at the FootballCV Academy as Under-21s coach. In June 2015 he was appointed Head of Academy Coaching at Mansfield Town, working alongside Corby boy John Dempster.
Following the departure of Ashley Robinson from his position as Corby Town manager last week Mark was appointed to the post for the remainder of the 2019/20 season. Weather permitting he will take charge for the first time against bottom of the table Wantage Town this coming Saturday.
