‘an experienced football agent’
football players to progress with their game, and also advised their parents. I often get asked by parents about the best way to get their children watched by professional football clubs and how they can increase the chances of their children becoming professional footballers. This is one of the main reasons, I have founded the website signmepro.com , to help young footballers get noticed by professional football clubs. I have also helped professional footballers from the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two, including England Youth Internationals. Two players I have worked with in the past, helping them to move up the leagues, are below: I was the agent for Simon Cox when he moved from Swindon Town in League One to West Bromwich Albion in the Championship. Simon recently represented the Republic of Ireland in Euro 2012 and is now playing for Nottingham Forest. I was the agent of Blackpool FC captain Alex Baptiste for a number of years. In 2008, I managed to get him a move from his club Mans?eld Town, who were playing in the Conference National league, to Blackpool, in the Championship. I currently have high hopes for a winger called David Worrall, at Bury FC, who I manage. You seem to have a lot of experience helping players of all ages and at all levels.
