Football Scholarship Success

We are delighted to share the news that Year 11 student, Izac, has been offered a scholarship at Preston North End (PNE) FC Academy.

In October, after 5 years with Stoke City Academy, Izac was invited for a trial at PNE and immediately offered the contract. 

At the PNE trial, Izac impressed the coaches at training and during matches with the U16 and U17 teams. 

Izac said:

“Straight after the last game I was offered, and signed, a 2 year contract for a scholarship with the academy. I was really happy and I’m looking forward to starting full-time after my GCSEs.”

Currently whilst studying for his GCSEs, Izac is at the academy two days a week for fitness, football training and sport development work.  He plays centre-mid position for the U18s team due to his skill level. 

After his exams, he will join full-time to pursue his dream of playing professional football in the Premiership.

Mrs Sharrock, Principal, commented: 

‘We are all proud of Izac and hope he continues to work hard in pursuit of his dream. Well done Izac!’
