HANOVER, Mass. (Jan. 29, 2015) - The Boston Breakers announced today the hiring of assistant coach Dushawne Simpson.

He has spent the past 13 years with the Women's Premier Soccer League team Aztec Soccer, the former reserve club of the Breakers.

"I am delighted to announce Dushawne as a member of the Breakers pro team coaching staff," Boston Breakers general manager Lee Billiard said. "I have known Doc for a long time, and he is very well-respected, has great knowledge and passion for the game, and there's a very good demeanor about him. The fact that he knows about our program and has worked with us closely in previous years on top of his coaching credentials is a bonus. Tom and Doc will compliment each other very well, and the players will benefit from having such quality coaching, instruction, and leadership"

"I'm very excited for this opportunity to work in the top women's league in the world," Simpson said. "I want to thank Lee Billiard and Tom Durkin for this opportunity, and I hope to bring value to the organization."
