14 year professional career

Scott Wells

Head Coach

Gardner-Webb

Division 1

The Coventry, England, native is the third head coach in the program's history. He comes to Gardner-Webb after building UNC Greensboro into a top-5 national program as Associate Head Coach and lead recruiter.
 
"First, I would like to thank President Dr. Downs for the ultimate decision on allowing me to be part of Gardner Webb University," said Wells. "I want to say a very special thank you to Dr. Goodrich, who has been a major factor in my decision. He is a winner, and it was evident early in the process that he is willing to be in the trenches with me as we start the new era of Bulldog Soccer. I want to thank UNC Greensboro and the entire athletics department, specifically Head Coach Chris Rich for giving me the opportunity to help elevate the team in to a top-5 program. Lastly, but most importantly, I want to thank my Wife Carissa Wells. There is a huge difference between a wife and a coach's wife. Thank you for all the sacrifice you have given our family and the support to ultimately be in this position today."
 
Wells helped engineer a sensational 2022 season for the Spartans, which started with a 10-match unbeaten streak in August and September. UNCG finished the campaign with a 13-2-6 mark, won the Southern Conference regular season and conference titles and advanced all the way to the NCAA Elite Eight with tournament wins over Ohio State and Stanford. The Spartans finished the 2022 season ranked in the top-25 nationally in 12 different statistical categories. UNCG ranked ninth in total goals, 10th in shot accuracy, 12th in goal differential, 13th in total points and winning percentage, 16th in scoring offense, 18th in total assists, 19th in points per game, 20th in shots on goal, 22nd in goals against average and corner kicks per game and 25th in assists per game.
 
UNCG earned its highest ever ranking in the final national polls, coming in at No. 5 when the United Soccer Coaches poll was released in mid-December. The Spartans cracked the top-25 in early September and moved back into the polls for good on October 11.
 
Sophomore midfielder J.C. Ngando earned first-team United Soccer Coaches All-America honors after scoring 22 points and posting 14 assists which ranked second nationally by season's end. A dozen Spartans earned postseason accolades from the Southern Conference in November.
 
Wells was also part of UNCG's 2021 SoCon championship during the spring, which saw Theo Collomb earn SoCon Freshman of the Year honors. Collomb went on to earn second-team All-America honors the following fall and was selected by Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the 2022 MLS SuperDraft following his sophomore season.
 
Wells' first stint with the Spartans began in 2019 and success followed soon after. UNCG won six of its final seven regular season matches that season, won a conference regular season title and advanced all the way to the SoCon Tournament finals. 

Wells also spearheaded the recruitment of four top-25 recruiting classes for UNCG, providing the foundation for the program's recent success. The Spartans saw 23 student-athletes earn SoCon postseason honors during Wells' tenure.

Two of his recruits, Ngando and Joey Skinner, were selected in the first round of the 2023 MLS SuperDraft on December 21. Ngando was chosen No. 5 overall by Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Skinner was taken with the No. 11 overall pick by Nashville SC. Another, defender Ethan Conley, was drafted in the second round by New York Red Bulls.
 
"Our goal is to build a consistent soccer powerhouse at Gardner-Webb," underscored GWU President Dr. William Downs. "That means winning conference championships and making deep runs in the NCAA tournament...nothing less.  It takes energy, expertise, and a good measure of audacity to realize such a goal, and in Coach Scott Wells I believe we have found the right potent combination.  Scott knows he's got a turnaround project on his hands, and I'm confident he's up to the challenge."
 
Success has followed Wells at each of his career stops in the sport. He came to UNCG after a terrific two-year stint as the top assistant at the University of Charleston (WV). While there, he helped guide the team to a pair of NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances and the 2017 NCAA Division II National Championship. The Golden Eagles went 21-2-1 in 2017 and followed with an 18-1-2 mark and unbeaten regular season in 2018. Charleston outscored its opponents 54-3 during the 2018 campaign.
 
Wells' entrance into the college coaching ranks was sensational as well. He began as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Rio Grande (OH), helping the Red Storm to a 19-2-2 mark and a No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 regular season. The following season, as the program's top assistant, Wells saw Rio Grande win the 2015 NAIA National Championship and post a 25-2 record. The Red Storm finished the season riding a 13-match win streak.

Jamie Cleland

Assistant Coach (Goalkeepers)

Delaware

Division 1

Jamie Cleland began his first season as an assistant coach on the Delaware men's soccer staff during the 2022 season.

Cleland serves as the Blue Hens goalkeepers coach after spending the last three seasons in the same role at Monmouth University.

Cleland achieved great success in coaching the Blue Hens' goalkeepers in 2023. Clelands ability to succeed with multiple personnel in net was quite apparent. The assistant coach featured three different goalkeepers throughout the season as the result of injuries, having success with all of them. Each goalkeeper finished with at least one win and one tie. On average, Blue Hens goalkeeping only allowed 1.77 goals per game. Combined, the Hens goalies combined for 49 saves, which resulted in a 59% save rate. The Hens also shut out opponents in three matches. Clelands work with the goaltenders and team as a whole heavily contributed to the Hens nine-win season as well as moving onto the semi-finals in the CAA Tournament.

Cleland helped guide Monmouth to one of the best seasons in program history in the spring of 2021. The Hawks won the MAAC Championship as the No. 6 seed, and defeated Bowling Green in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. By the end of the season, Monmouth was receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and had an RPI as high as nine. The team won four straight road games en route to the conference championship, including a victory at No. 1 Quinnipiac. Under Cleland's guidance, Sean Murray was tabbed the MAAC Co-Goalkeeper of the Year.

Monmouth won eight matches last fall, and advanced to the MAAC Tournament Semifinals. Murray led the conference with a 1.06 goals against average while earning Second Team All-MAAC recognition.

Cleland has also been the director of goalkeeping at TSF Academy in Lincoln Park, N.J. during the last two years. Additionally, he previously served as head goalkeeper coach at Cedar Stars Academy and Arsenal Soccer Schools USA.

Cleland was a two-year starter at St. Peters University, where he earned his degree in sports management in May, 2017.
