Playing career

edit

Quy was born in Harlow and began his career with Tottenham Hotspur on a YTS contract.[2] After failing to win a professional contract at White Hart Lane, he transferred to Derby County in July 1994 and subsequently spent time out on loan at Stalybridge Celtic.[2] Following another non-playing spell at Grimsby Town during the 1996–97 season, Quy had short spells with Stevenage Borough and Kettering Town,[3] before finally finding regular football with Hereford United in 1997.[2][4] However, his career was cut short by injury and after spells with Halesowen Town and Belper Town,[5][6] Quy decided to take up coaching.[2]

Coaching career

edit

Quy began his coaching career in the Derby County and Aston Villa academies and was appointed as part-time first team goalkeeping coach at Lincoln City in 2006.[7] In 2007, he joined Stoke City as first team goalkeeping coach.[2] In January 2019, Quy and Kevin Russell assisted Stoke City's caretaker manager Rory Delap.[8] In December 2019, Quy replaced Iñaki Caña as Brentford's first team goalkeeping coach.[9] He left the role in August 2020.[10]

In February 2021, Quy was appointed Head of Goalkeeping at Burton Albion and he served in the role until late October,[11][12] when he took up the combined role of first team and academy goalkeeping coach at Major League Soccer expansion team Charlotte FC.[13] Following the sacking of head coach Miguel Ángel Ramírez in May 2022, Quy relinquished his goalkeeping coach duties and was made a member of the interim coaching team, serving head coach Christian Lattanzio as an assistant alongside Jamath Shoffner.[14] Quy was appointed to the role full-time in January 2023,[15] but he followed Christian Lattanzio out of the club when his departure was announced on 8 November 2023.[16]

On 20 February 2024, Quy was appointed goalkeeping coach at Huddersfield Town.[17]
