Athletic Department officials have announced the hiring of alumnus Charley Mitchell of Raleigh, N.C., as assistant coach of the men's soccer team and equipment manager.

Mitchell's primary coaching responsibilities will include recruiting, on-field coaching, individual player workouts, pre- and post-season workouts, and helping in the area of academic support for team members.

He replaces Anthony Addorisio, who left the university to pursue other opportunities in his native Canada.

Mitchell was a four-year letterman at FMU on the soccer field. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in marketing in 2005 and served as the Patriots' team captain for the 2004 season. Following that campaign, he was named the squad's Most Valuable Player.

He played in both the midfield and defensive back. Mitchell was named to the 2004 Peach Belt Conference All-Tournament Team.

As a freshman, he was a part-time starter on the 2000 Patriot squad that was ranked No. 1 in the nation for two weeks and advanced to the NCAA Division II national quarterfinals.

Mitchell worked as a marketing intern with WebsterRogers LLP in Florence, was a front-of-house manager at Redbone Alley Restaurant in the Florence Mall and worked with Verizon Wireless in Columbus, Ohio.
