Fleetwood Town International Football Academy Manager Mick Horsfall has been presenting the program and pathways at fleetwoodtownfc to players from across the world at uk_football_trials in Ardingly 👊🏽

Mick said “ It has been great to meet so many ambitious young footballers from across the world over the last two weeks at the trials set up by our fantastic agents at UK football trials. Training within a professional football club and an elite environment means players can really progress in the game and provides a very attractive opportunity for many.

We have had a number of players over the past few seasons from UKFT who have gone on to better opportunities within the game, I’m sure having met nearly 100 of the players over the last two weeks. This number will continue to rise and there will be another great season ahead.”
