The former Dundee United and Swansea City academy boss joined Saints ahead of the 2023/24 season and has witnessed Tyler Dibling’s rise into the first team. Dibling has started each of the last four Premier League matches under boss Russell Martin, making significant contributions by setting up and scoring his first goals against Brentford and Ipswich Town.
Academy Director, Goldie, emphasized the importance of consistency for Dibling while praising the young talent’s potential, as the starlet garners attention nationwide. Goldie said:
“I have only known Tyler for the 16 months I have been in post but during that time, I have found him such an amazing kid. He is such a consistent kid who has a fantastic identity as a human being first but also on the pitch. It is a great testament to the work that was done before I came in. An academy is also only as successful as the first team manager’s willingness to give them a chance and Russell Martin and his staff have given him that platform. It’s early days. It’s a step up but he’s performing well now and he’s got to remain consistent. I don’t think you can underestimate the support he’s had from Carl Martin and the staff.”
