Write about your Playing Ability (Min 50 words) : Physical, strong and pacey defender. Comfortable with the ball at my feet, can dribble the ball out and comfortable passing. Have been played further up the pitch, especially as a forward to make use of physicality and aerial ability. Pace allows me to cover as a full-back also. Disciplined player and laid back.
Why should an Academy Director give you a trial (Min 50 words) : I take in and appreciate advice, I also get on with things and do not argue with referee or coach. I have had much experience in a professional footballing environment at the highest level of youth football playing against european giants such as Ajax and Shakhtar Donetsk.
