The recruitment team will work collectively with our coaches to prioritise the identification of players within different groups against the player profile identified within the Clubs philosophy. The priority of the department is local recruitment and providing a solid based to the development model. The role of the football philosophy within our club is to clearly identify the direction of our recruitment policy and the manner in which we operate our programme. Within player recruitment our philosophy is best described as:
‘To recruit, develop and produce players able to reach the core objective for the Academy through a network of scouts predominantly recruiting from a catchment area within an hour of Birmingham. This process will be player centered focusing on identification of young players able to excel in one of more of the four corners associated to player development.’
Please note that all player recruitment enquires must be submitted to the recruitment email below and not directly to individual staff -
