FTIFA UK are excited and proud to have supported and developed two of their players from the Pro Experience Programme into fully signed professionals in their sister club at Dubai.
Jarrod Walker and Jayden Tran both had six months of development with the Pro Club in Fleetwood before they were then given the opportunity to take the next steps in their careers. Both players have signed contracts for the remainder of the season with Fleetwood United Dubai.
FTIFA UK Academy Manager Mick Horsfall said: “The whole FTIFA staff and coaching team are really excited to see the opportunity that the two players have been given - the validity in our development programmes is seen here. We are keen to ensure that any player that arrives in the UK is given the best training and reviews on their performance to go to the next level.
“Jayden and Jarrod have shown the right level of attitude, desire, and ability to make the step up into professional football. As the next block of FTIFA UK Pro Experience begins this week, the question on all the coaches’ minds is “Who’s next!?”.
Mick believes: “The opportunities that we are providing across the globe now means that there are exit routes into appropriate football levels for all our players. With programs in the UK, Dubai, and South Africa alongside the club partnerships globally, we are confident that any players who join FTIFA will develop and flourish in the game”.
FTIFA UK Pro Experience is open for new players to apply to be involved in 2023. Contact Michael.horsfall@fleetwoodtownfc.com to discuss the programme.
