Incredible 80 Players Scouted from October Football Trials

Incredible 80 Players Scouted from October Football Trials

Published Monday 31st of October 2016 11:00 AM

An incredible 80 players have been scouted from across the UK in our October UK Football Trial events.

Last week our team travelled to West London, Birmingham, Manchester and Essex, giving players from around the country the opportunity to impress pro and semi pro club scouts. 

Players as young as nine have had their details taken by Premier League Academy scouts, while at the other end of the scale, several players in their 20's are set for trials with National League clubs. 

Harry Price, Director of UK Football Trials, expressed his delight at such a successful week of trials and the high levels of ability on show from the players.

"As a company we are absolutely thrilled with the levels of skill, professionalism and ability that the players displayed last week," Harry said.

He added: "As well as welcoming back our regular club contacts, we were also able to add three new Premier League clubs to our books after they attended last week.

"To have 80 players scouted out of 491 that we saw is a brilliant ratio and it shows that if the players are good enough and they show it on the day, they have a genuine opportunity to find a club."

In special cirumstances, some players have already been in on trial after being scouted last week.

All other players will be contacted with a decision by 8pm on Friday 4th November via email or phonecall.

In the coming weeks we will also be launching a brand new opportunity for players, a five-day football camp including world-class coaching, accomodation and seminars, before the chance to play in a UK Football Trial event; you can register early interest now on the Upcoming Football Trials tab at the top of this page.

For any players interested in coming to a football trial this year, our December trials in Manchester and London are on sale now, with spaces already selling out.

We hope to see you soon!
