Mattie McKiernan and Scott Boswell join Lancashire Cricket Women’s coaching staff
Lancashire Cricket is pleased to confirm the appointments of Mattie McKiernan and Scott Boswell to Lancashire Women’s coaching staff ahead of the 2026 season.
McKiernan (Lead Spin Bowling Coach) and Boswell (Lead Pace Bowling Coach) have both joined Chris Read’s staff with immediate effect from The Blaze.
Leg spinning all-rounder McKiernan played 67 times across all formats for Derbyshire between 2018 and 2023, before retiring aged 28 to focus on his coaching career. McKiernan worked in roles with Lancashire Thunder’s Academy and with The Blaze from 2023, in addition to running his own coaching business providing one-to-one sessions with county players from across the men’s and women’s professional game.
Boswell brings a wealth of experience as a former professional fast bowler who made 69 professional appearances for Northamptonshire and Leicestershire from 1995 to 2001. Following his retirement from playing, he transitioned into coaching, where he has worked as Fast Bowling Coach with The Blaze across their professional, Academy and County Age Group squads.
Both McKiernan and Boswell have already began working with the First Team squad during their winter training programme at Emirates Old Trafford.
Director of Women’s Cricket David Thorley commented on both appointments: “We’re delighted to welcome both Mattie and Scott to Chris Read’s coaching staff.
“They both bring a strong understanding of the modern women’s game, significant professional experience and a track record for developing and improving players.
“Their respective expertise in the spin and pace bowling departments will be invaluable as we continue to build on our high-performance environment. Just as importantly, they are outstanding people who have already bedded in with the squad and around Emirates Old Trafford this winter.”
