Benji’s journey began at the grassroots level, where he quickly stood out for his talent and determination. Over the years, his hard work has paid off, as he has been scouted by some of the most prestigious clubs in the country. After attending a UK Football Trials event, Benji was thrilled to learn that he had been scouted once again.

Following the notification from UK Football Trials, Benji and his family patiently awaited further instructions. Their patience was rewarded when Benji was invited to train with Everton. Reflecting on the experience, Benji’s family shared, “We have been at Everton for two weeks now, and it’s been a fantastic opportunity for Benji to grow and learn.”

During his club trial at Everton, Benji participated in a training session, where he had the chance to showcase his skills and adapt to the high standards expected at the club. While they have not yet received formal feedback, the experience has already been valuable. “It’s still early days, but the level was a great standard, and I feel Benji is learning a lot,” his family noted. They remain optimistic about the feedback to come, confident that Benji’s abilities will shine through.

The UK Football Trials provided Benji with an invaluable opportunity to be seen by clubs that he might not have encountered through grassroots football alone. “The opportunity to see other clubs that we may not be subjected to through grassroots was too good to pass up,” his family explained. The trials have opened new doors for Benji, allowing him to take significant steps forward in his football journey.

When asked if they would recommend UK Football Trials to other players, Benji’s family responded enthusiastically. “I’ve recommended a few players, one of whom now plays for Chester,” they shared, emphasizing the benefits of the trials in helping young players achieve their dreams.

As Benji continues his trial with Everton, his family remains hopeful and positive about the future. They understand that feedback takes time, and they are confident that Benji’s hard work and dedication will be recognized. “We’ve had no feedback yet as it’s still early days, but we’re excited to see what the future holds,” they added.

Benji’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the opportunities that come with putting yourself out there. We wish Benji all the best as he continues to train with Everton and pursue his football dreams!
