Renee Horton joined the UWG women's soccer program as the Wolves' assistant coach in February 2024.

A veteran coach who has spent time at multiple Division I programs, Horton comes to Carrollton after a two-year stint on the staff at the University of Georgia.

At UGA, Horton was a video analyst, helping the Bulldogs to a combined 26-10-9 record and two trips to the NCAA Tournament.

Prior to being in Athens, Horton was a part of Keidane McAlpine's staff at Southern California and spent three seasons at Xavier before that stint in Los Angeles. At Xavier, Horton helped the Musketeers earn their first NCAA Tournament victory ever in 2019, finishing with a school-record 17 wins with Big East regular season and tournament championships. That team recorded 12 shutouts and the staff was named the Big East Staff of the Year.

Horton also has coached at Lander and at her alma mater, South Florida. She also has club coaching experience, serving as a staff coach for Cincinnati United Soccer Club and as well as time as a lead staff coach for Florida ODP.

As a player, Horton appeared in 63 matches at USF, starting 42 in total and earning 37 wins. A two-sport athlete, Horton also played softball for the Bulls and earned a bachelor's degree in Communications in 2000.
