Take Our Poll:
Q: Are there any countries in which you do not operate?
A: We are best placed to assist players in Europe, the Americas, Australia and various other territories, but it is difficult for us to operate in countries currently affected by conflict. Please note that we would also discourage registrations from non-professional players in western African countries (most notably Nigeria and Ghana) as we receive an overwhelming number of applications from this area that we simply cannot assist on an in-depth basis unless you are already playing at a top level and possess both the talent and documentation/international experience to be able to play and work in the UK.
About us
My First Agent was founded by former Bury FC Director Ross Johnson. In his time in charge of Bury's Youth and Centre of Excellence programmes, the club brought through several talents who have gone on to play at a high level. Most notably David Nugent (Portsmouth, Burnley and England), Colin Kazim-Richards (Fenerbahce and Turkey) and Simon Whaley (Preston North End). Ross' involvement with Bury came through his son Max, who currently plays for Newcastle United. Max played for Bury's Centre of Excellence, which, due to financial difficulties, was facing closure. Ross stepped in to help both the club and his son's footballing future. Not only was Ross a major part of Bury's revival, but together with then youth coach Chris Casper, the club enjoyed a successful period of growth in youth development. Ross said: "I enjoy seeing young footballers succeed, and if I can influence that in any way then I'm happy to help. "Whilst at Bury, I saw first hand the activities of football agents and I felt I could improve the situation for many of the players. "I recognised that there was a problem in the way that young footballers chose representation. Usually the way players choose football agents is through word of mouth from their fellow team-mates. However, the agents who come on recommendation aren't always necessarily the best, or the right choice for the player in question. "I believe that footballers should have the right to freedom of choice. MyFirstAgent brings together the world of football and business. Successful footballers need to make informed choices on all aspects of their career and we have brought together a group of experienced, like-minded professionals to meet their needs." |
