We offer 16-18 year olds (boys and girls) the opportunity to train, develop and play full time whilst also continuing with their education (with our educational partner, Lifeskills). We have designed everything about the academy to reflect being in a professional academy and to give you the opportunity to be ready for playing at the highest level you can.
We are setting out with the goal of building towards not only being the best college academy in the country but be a production centre for players getting into (or back into) the professional game. You’re only for us if you’re serious about helping us achieve that whist developing yourself at the same time.
The football and academic programme is funded by the Education Funding Agency, so is free to all students who are in year 12 or 13.
The summer of 2017 also saw us commence a unique partnership with non-league side Frickley Athletic Football Club offering our successful graduates a direct route into semi-professional football.
