Harry Shillington, Aged 10, Secures Two Trials

Harry Shillington, 10, has landed trials with Brentford FC of the Championship and League One side Millwall FC.

An agile attacker, Harry's ability with both feet means he's able to play in any of the forward positions, but prefers attacking midfield or striker. The Australian-born player, who also played for FC Copenhagen in Denmark, had a prolific season last year, scoring more than half of his clubs goals for the year. Harry was spotted by scouts at our West London trial in August, and is set for his trial with Brentford FC tomorrow, August 8th. He currently plays football four times a week, training on Monday's and Friday's with Wycombe Wanderers Elite Development Squad, Saturday's with his current local side Chorley Wood FC and he plays matches on Sundays.

His Dad, Steve, said: "The trial was very good, it was an intense session, very focussed and it was great to see the scouts there watching the players. Harry loved the pressure and loved the environment, which was the key thing from a parent’s perspective." He added: "I’d absolutely recommend UK Football Trials, it’s well worth the money and the time. It’s a great place to go and get your son recognised by scouts.”
