139 Players Scouted from May/June Trials

An incredible 139 players have been scouted by pro and semi-clubs after attending our football trials around the UK last week.

Over the course of five days in London, Birmingham and Manchester, more than 500 players came to our events with the ambition of making it as a footballer, and many left one step closer to their dream.

Premier League scouts were in attendance at all of our trials searching for the country's best undiscovered talents - 20% of all those scouted were for clubs in the Premier League - while clubs in the lower divisions were also well represented throughout the week meaning in total there were 37 clubs who attended UK-wide.

Harry Price, UK Football Trials Director, said: "As a company we are very happy with the May and June trials as a whole and would like thanks all the players, parents, coaches, scouts and staff who made it such an enjoyable week for us.

"The quality throughout the week was one of the highest we've seen since we started and the incredible numbers of scouted players backs that up.

"We're continually getting more and scouts coming to our events, which in turn gives the players a better opportunity and means more people will get scouted."

The results mean that better than 1 in 4 players were scouted from this trial set and some have already had contact from the club. 

All players who attended will be contacted by 6pm on Friday, 9th June with a decision from their trial - good luck everyone!
