Football Academy

Students have a fantastic opportunity to combine playing competitive football alongside their studies with our Football Academy.

Science, Public Services, Policing or Engineering • Level 2 courses in Sports Coaching, Public

Services, Policing, Electrical Installation or

Plumbing and Heating

“The hope is to further develop talented players, creating opportunities to join first team training sessions with the end goal ultimately being inclusion in the first team squad and the beginning of a career in semi-professional football.”

“Having previously been involved with college football myself, I am aware of the high standard of players who have not been able to progress into professional football, however I believe that with the right attitude and dedication, along with continued education, many exciting opportunities in both semi-professional and professional football can be achieved.”
