Taylor’s former assistant, Chad Gribble, will also join the Reds with immediate effect as part of the backroom coaching staff, while Amber Whiteley, who acted as interim head coach following the departure of Matt Beard in February, will remain with the club as an assistant coach.
Gribble spent more than a decade at Exeter City leading youth development before leaving to head the professional development phase at Doncaster Rovers, where he also served as assistant head coach.
A year at Hull City as professional development lead also came prior to linking up with Taylor in the WSL.
“I’d also like to welcome Chad to the club, someone whose previous experience with Gareth can prove invaluable,” added O’Boyle.
“And I’d like to thank Amber for the excellent work she did alongside the rest of the coaching team in the final few months of last season.
“We’re delighted she has agreed to continue her coaching pathway with us and look forward to her continued development as a top coach.”
Taylor has begun immediately working with the squad as their preparations continue for the new season.
He will be in charge for Saturday’s behind-closed-doors friendly against Aston Villa at Bodymoor Heath Training Ground (kick-off 2pm BST).
