Harrie Martin - Aged 8 - Scouted by Leicester City

Despite his young age, he impressed everyone with his ability and determination on the pitch. Harrie has a solid playing history before joining the Leicester Mutual League - Level 1, under 8s. He participated in the try outs to demonstrate his ability in front of professional scouts, a decision that paid off.

When UK Football Trials told Harrie that he had been scouted, four clubs approached him: Leicester City, West Bromwich Albion, Birmingham City, and Cheltenham Town. Harrie is now on trial with Leicester City and has joined the club's Emerging Talent Squad. West Brom also expressed interest in trialling him, and Birmingham City would like to see him play again.

When we asked Harrie about his club trial experience, he said he'd only had three sessions out of four but was pleased about the prospect. "I have joined the Emerging Talent Squad while I am being trialled," Harrie remarked, highlighting his commitment and interest.

Harrie reflected on what he learnt during the UK Football trial, saying, "To be confident, relax, and showcase my talents." This approach has been critical in enabling him to achieve at a high level of football. He complimented the trial players' skill and ability, describing them as being of a "high level and standard."

Harrie came to the UK Football Trials because he saw it as a useful opportunity to demonstrate his abilities in front of scouts. "It's a great place to showcase yourself to scouts without having to wait for them to attend grassroots fixtures," he said, emphasising the trials' unique players and their playing styes as players have come from all over the world.

UK Football Trials allow ambitious footballers like Harrie to showcase their ability and earn crucial experience. Harrie's success story highlights the advantages of attending a UK Football Trial, both from a scouting and development standpoint.

When asked if he would recommend UK Football Trials to others, Harrie enthusiastically responded, "Yes, I would recommend it, not just to get scouted, but also to learn how trials work, the pressure you put on yourself, and the coaching. Overall, it will better prepare you for that one trial or game that you have been spotted in."

We congratulate Harrie on his achievements so far and wish him all the best as he pursues his football career.
