For the first time ever, Scottish footballers will be given the chance to join “The Search” and be a part of UK Football Trials’ hunt for undiscovered talent. Players from the ages of 10 to 28 will be given the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and step out on to the pitch at Falkirk Stadium, which holds close to 9,000 spectators. The stadium is home to last year’s Scottish Cup finalists Falkirk FC, who play in the Scottish Championship. An academy level coaching session followed by a match on the Falkirk Pitch will give trialists the chance to impress scouts from Scotland and Northern England, ranging from the Scottish Premiership and English Championship, through to the semi-professional tiers. Taking a successful model from England which has seen pro and semi club scouts taking details of 110 players at trials so far in 2015, scouts will be able to contact players who impress, giving them the dream chance of a trial at a pro club...

Lumi, who usually plays as a left winger, was scouted at our Manchester football trial earlier this year, after impressing scouts and receiving interest from five professional clubs. He currently plays in Northern Ireland, and his county, where he was selected in the final 18 from 300 players. Despite usually playing as a winger, Lumi was asked by his coach to play centre-midfield in the trial match and that is where he caught the eye. Displaying strength, composure and technique, he controlled the tempo of the game despite being the youngest player on the pitch. Lumi was hoping to attend our football trial in 2015 but made a deal with his mum that if he obtained A's at school, then he could come in February - luckily he did!
