Jack Morris, Aged 11, Secures 6 Week Trial With Brentford FC

11-year-old Jack Morris has recently undergone a six-week trial with Championship side Brentford FC, after he was spotted at one of our trials. A pacey left winger, Jack is good 1v1 and holds an eye for goal, scoring 16 in 12 this season for his local side Mile Oak Wanderers, whom he also captains.

Talking about his experience with UK Football Trials, he said: "I enjoyed playing with older players, I was the youngest player at the trial so I loved that challenging aspect of it. Everyone was really friendly and the coaching drills were great – we actually use some of them at my local team now since the coach saw my trial." Jack keeps himself fit with runs before school in the morning, playing football several times between his Sunday side, school side and Brentford, as well as playing other sports, such as cricket, to keep his fitness levels up. "You need a platform to show the people what you can do," he said, "You’re not always going to get spotted playing at the park. UKFT give you exactly that platform."
