About Matthew Elliott Wells

Matthew Elliott Wells (born 22 September 1988) is an English professional football coach and former player, who played as a central midfielder. He is currently the head coach of Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids.

Wells worked his way up through the youth ranks of Tottenham Hotspur, from the age of nine. Unfortunately, Wells never made a senior debut, with his career at the North London club severely hampered by injuries. As a result, he focused upon football coaching and successfully gained his UEFA B Licence at the age of just 20, whilst learning from the likes of John McDermott and Alex Inglethorpe.
