May Trials
UK Football Trials are delighted to announce that an amazing 45 player's details have been taken by clubs over the course of four trial days in May. Starting the week off in Essex, 11 players caught the eye of the onlooking scouts, while a further five were taken from the Birmingham trial the following day.
As the UK Football Trials team moved on to a double trial at Manchester on Wednesday, May 27, held at Stockport Sports Village, the numbers began to soar. Scouts from the Premier League through to semi pro were in attendance for the morning, afternoon and goalkeeper trials, which resulted in 14 players being spotted from that day alone. There was no let up as the week came to a close at QPR's training ground on Thursday, with an amazing 15 players having their details taken by scouts on the day, including a goalkeeper into a Premier League club, taking the total to 45. UK Football Trials Director, Harry Price, who was present at the May trials, said: "We are over the moon with the results from these trials.
It's testament to the quality of the players who attended that we have 45 players who managed to do enough to impress the scouts. We saw around 400 players last week across the four days, so to maintain our average of 1 in 10 players is brilliant." We will contact every player who attended our trials by Friday, June 5, either by phone or by email.
