One of our students is getting ever closer to his dream of one day becoming a professional footballer.

Year 9 student Jake has been working with Northampton Town Football Club’s training squad twice a week for about a year.

The Centre Back was picked to join the training squad, which is only one step away from the club’s Academy for young players, after he impressed coaches at a trial.

Jake said: “My training at Northampton Town has been going really well. I’ve competed in a quite a lot of matches against other teams and we’ve done well.

“It’s a great opportunity for me to be able to train with them.

“I would love to play professionally when I’m older and the coaching I receive at Northampton Town is helping me to improve my skills.”

Jake has also played with Burton Park Wanderers Football Club in Burton Latimer for the past 10 years.
