Kieran Spencer, Aged 14, trial with Sheffield Wednesday

We would like to pass on our congratulations to Kieran Spencer, 14, who is set for a trial with Sheffield Wednesday after a scout spotted him at our Manchester trial in April. Kieran, who plays in central midfield, displayed an ability to score goals from midfield and he also layed on a few assists for team mates on the day.

As well as frequent visits to the gym and regular runs, Kieran trains and plays for his local side Ashton Waterloo FC two to three times a week - playing football as regularly as possible is important for anyone looking to turn pro. Kieran's Mum, Lisa, said: "Kieran really enjoyed his trial, it was a big moment for him when he was asked to stay behind at the end and play with the older boys.

He's not one to show off to the scouts, he just does things on merit and puts in the work and it's great that they recognised that. "We have already recommended UK Football Trials to other parents and players. The feedback that we got from the coaches was brilliant and it makes it such a personal experience. It’s great for the players to see where they’re at, if there’s a chance of making it as a footballer and if so, which level is right for them."
