Player Pathways
International connections, introductions and placement support. Two decades of relationships across professional and international football: for players and families looking for the right destination, and for institutions looking for the right players.
Pathways are rarely about a list of clubs and a hopeful email. They are about who knows the player, who picks up the phone, and whether the introduction comes from someone the destination already trusts.
This is a service built on relationships across professional and international football, used by players seeking the right next step, by families considering an international move, and by clubs, universities and academies looking for credible candidates. Every placement is bespoke, so there are no standard packages. Get in touch to discuss what you need.
International Placement Support
For players and families navigating a move to a new club, academy or programme, at home or overseas. Guidance on options, timing and what to expect, backed by direct introductions where the fit is right.
Trials, Transitions & Introductions
Targeted introductions to clubs, academies and trial opportunities that match the player's level, position and ambition. No scattergun applications. A small number of well-judged conversations.
University & Scholarship Pathways
Support for players considering university football programmes in the UK, USA and beyond. Help identifying the right level of programme and making the introductions that matter.
Long-List Creation
For institutions, a structured list of players matched to your programme's level, positional requirements, academic expectations and pathway structure.
Short-List Creation
A refined list of high-priority candidates with suitability rankings, performance notes, projected development and behavioural observations.
Recruitment Cycle Support
Comprehensive support across your annual recruitment cycle: identification, evaluation, communication with staff, short-listing and pathway recommendations.
