FAQs
Q: My son is 14 years old, is this too young to have an agent?
A: A player cannot sign a contract with an agent until the year he reaches 16. A pre-contract
agreement can be offered by agents for players who really stand out, but up until the player is
18 years of age written consent of a parent of guardian is needed for the deal to be processed
formally.
How to know a football agent is watching you
Its a question we get asked a lot from members and new members of My First Agent. If I send my CV either by your system or I send it myself to agents or clubs how do I know if I am being watched or scouted further?
A simple answer is a lot of time you won't know but there are key things you can do and also watch out for when you are training or playing matches.
- If you play or train in a certain place or for a current club make sure to put this in your CV so agents and scouts know where they can watch you
- Put an up to date picture so they know what you look like and who to watch out for
- You won’t get notified that they are coming so once your CV is sent make sure you try your best in every game and training session in case they turn up to watch you play
- Do you notice someone new at the training ground or on the sidelines at one of your matches? This could be them.
- If an agent or scout gets your details it may be weeks or even months until they scout you further it all depends on the demand they have for players of your level and in your playing position so again keep on top of your game to give yourself the best chance
- Stand out from the crowd both by playing and by what you wear if you have not already get yourself some MFA merchandise so they instantly recognise you.
