Alex Vancea - AGED 11 - SIGNED for Aldershot Town FC

Alex Vancea - AGED 11 - SIGNED for Aldershot Town FC

We got in contact with the proud father of Alex Vancea, Matei, to learn more about this exciting player who really impressed at our events, getting scouted by three clubs - Aldershot, Southampton and AFC Wimbledon, evnetually trialing and signing for Aldershot soon after a trial.

So tell us about the backgrpound to your son Alex:

 

"He started his football path when he was only 5 years old with a local romanian academy Ava Academy , where he spent around 2 and half years. They had couple of tournaments and he was the stand out, best player in the team.  Then we joined Harrow Stars , which had a francise with Crystal Palace FC, so we joined CPD Barnet and here Alex was in the U10 show case team for pre-academy.  As well , he does football in school   Year 7 and Year 8 teams where he was invited for a trial for Brent District Schools Team , one week later he joined the U12 team."


What was the reason you felt he needed further opportunities?

 

"We felt he needed to develop further, so for this reason we decided to register with Uk Football Trials and eventually he will at least stand a chance to be scouted , and on his first ever trial event he was scouted by Aldershot Town FC , Southampton and Wimbledon.   Aldershot invited him to train with the U 12 Academy Team as a trialist , and in early February I received the email with the Academy offer to join and we decided that very gladly we accepted."

 

How is training at Aldershot different to previous grassroots clubs you have been at? 

 

"Training with Aldershot is a totally different level than at the Grassroots clubs, faster, more intense and now Alex enjoys Football even more! "

 

What advice would you give to a player looking for further opportunities?      

 

"I would strongly suggest Uk Football Trials to anyone who think that they have the talent and determination but their club can't help only to a certain level." 

 

CONGRATULATIONS to Alex on a superb West London trial performance and we look forward to tracking his progress over time!
