Mapenzi Ebamba - Aged 10 - SIGNED for Chesterfield

Mapenzi Ebamba - Aged 10 - SIGNED for Chesterfield

10-year-old Mapenzi Ebamba impressed at our Manchester event back in May and was subsequently scouted by Chesterfield for a trial!

 

We previously ran a story on Mapenzi trialling and playing in matches with Chesterfield, we are now delighted to announce that the young central midfielder has now signed for the club!

 

So Mapenzi, can you please talk us through the process of going from grassroots football to signing for Chesterfield?

 

“I was playing Sunday league football for a team called young elite, but felt that I could play at a higher level. Because of this I chose to attend your trial to show the scouts what I can do.”

 

“After being scouted by Chesterfield, I was invited to train and play in matches with the academy. Everything was going really well and I slotted right into the squad. I am very happy to have signed.”

 

That’s brilliant Mapenzi! As someone who has gone from grassroots football to singing for Chesterfield, do you have any advice for players like yourself?

 

“My Advice would be Keep working hard and your time will come there is always time.”

 

Everyone at UK Football Trials would like to firstly, congratulate Mapenzi on his brilliant trial with us and for signing with Chesterfield, and wish him the best of luck with his football in the future.
