Are you serious about becoming a professional football player? If you are passionately dedicated to achieving this goal, then we will give you every opportunity to make it happen.
Footballers today must look beyond professional football.
With our strong links with many UK professional football clubs and the network of contacts of our FIFA licensed football agent, you will get the very best chance to realise your full potential.
That is why you will also leave our academy with recognised qualifications and a well-planned educational pathway.
But you need to have exceptional talent, total commitment and never ending motivation to become a professional player. Have you got what it takes to succeed ?
An injury can immediately end a career. You won’t always be at the top of your game and so need to be ready for a change of job as you get older.
