Sean McCarthy (born 12 September 1967 in Bridgend) is a Welsh former professional football player who played the majority of his career as a striker (during which he scored over 200 goals); however, he also played as a defender.[1]

He began his management career with Manstow F.C under 18s, a local club near his home in Devon,[citation needed] before he became a coach at Portsmouth. In May 2008, he was appointed as the new manager of Southern League Division One side Truro City, following the resignation of Dave Leonard.[2]
