Q: I have been released and have no club: how do I get back onto the footballing ladder?
A: Firstly, you must not panic. Although the previous club may not have wanted you, that does not mean that nobody wants you. You need to get your name out there so clubs recognise you and your ability.
As well as this, you need to observe the guidance posted on `I am above the age of 16 and want to become a professional footballer, what do I need to do?` at the top of this Question and answer page.
Parents/Guardians PageAt MyFirstAgent we pride ourselves on our professional yet personal approach which caters for the individual needs of the player. One thing to bear in mind is that football is a very fickle business. Of the hundreds of youngsters who enter the game at 16, only around one out of six will continue in the professional game past the age of 21. We don't bombard young players with false promises. We give straight talking advice to both player and parents for the best interests of the individual and their long-term prospects Under the advice of FIFA, all footballers up to the age of 18 signing scholarship forms or a professional contract should have the written consent of their parent or guardian |
