“Whoever enrols will have fun but it’s also about development and improvement too. It’s a real chance for the youngsters to develop their game quicker and at high level.”
– Matt Ritchie, Newcastle United
“I’ve came through the Academy and know that a lot of talent in the area can get missed. It’s a chance for people to get involved and get some top quality coaching.”
