Former England and GB international Brendan Creed has joined US Field Hockey as men’s high performance coach – his first role since retiring.
Defender Creed played for England and GB from 2015 until last year after missing out on Paris 2024 selection.
He joins US women’s goalkeeper coach Maddie Hinch stateside after the pair got engaged. Creed is now a USA Field Hockey Level 1 and 3 certified coach.
“Brendan brings a wealth of experience at the highest level, having represented both England and Great Britain with distinction, including on the Olympic stage,” said Allan Law, USMNT head coach.

“Beyond his playing career, Brendan has shown a deep passion and unwavering commitment to the growth of the game. His dedication to the long-term success of our program, both on and off the field, will strengthen our high-performance culture and help elevate our team to the next level.”
Dutchman Bert Remmerswaal has also been enlisted as US women’s assistant coach.
