Suburban FC is proud to announce the appointment of Connor Johnston as the club’s Head Goalkeeper Coach, continuing to strengthen the club’s commitment to high-performance standards and player development across all levels.
Connor has quickly established himself as one of the province’s top emerging goalkeeper coaches, earning opportunities within some of the leading environments in the region. His experience includes roles with Dalhousie University, along with the Nova Scotia Provincial and EXCEL Programs, where he has worked closely with the top goalkeeping talent in the province.
His rise through these environments reflects both the quality of his work and his ability to impact players within high-performance settings. Connor brings a modern approach to goalkeeper development, with a strong focus on detail, consistency, and building environments that push players to improve.
Alongside his work locally, Connor has continued to invest in his own development, gaining experience alongside Mark Haynes with the Halifax Tides, and further expanding his exposure with an upcoming stint working with Toronto FC. These opportunities position him within some of the top goalkeeping environments in Canada and will directly support the standard being built at Suburban FC.
As Head Goalkeeper Coach, Connor will lead the club’s goalkeeper development pathway, implementing a clear structure and raising expectations across all age groups within Suburban FC.
Executive Director Oliver Hewish shared his thoughts on the appointment:
“Connor is someone who’s earned his way into these environments, and that matters. He’s serious about what he does, he’s learning from the right people, and he’s already working with top players. For us, it’s about continuing to raise standards across the club, and bringing Connor in is a big step in that direction.”
Suburban FC is excited to welcome Connor to the club and looks forward to the impact he will have on our players and goalkeeper environment.
