Spooner returned to Bolton Wanderers as a youth coach and initially coached the under-8s' team.[7] In November 2011, Spooner was working as the under-16 coach,[3] and in January 2013 he was the club's Head of Youth Development.[8] In September 2016, he was promoted to under-18s' head coach.[7] He left Bolton on 29 January 2021 after 17 years in his coaching roles.[9]
