Defender

3rd Regional Division (men)

Over the past few seasons, we have had great success in supporting the opportunity for a number of players to stay in England for a few months, whilst travelling and seeing the Country and some of Europe, alongside playing for the club, and being involved withing our Coaching team. We have had players from South Africa, Australia, Pakistan, Brazil, Chile and Argentina involved in this programme. We can offer housing and food in return for 10 hours of coaching per week and playing at the club, and if travel visas allow, can also find additional work for the right coaches. Whilst we are keen to get strong players over, this opportunity is far more about supporting the development of our coaching programme, particularly with regards to our juniors, and hence we are primarily looking for fluent (or very good) English speakers, who have several years of experience in coaching (ideally players aged 8-16).

Offerings

Accommodation

We have a house available for any overseas players to stay in - this will have your own bedroom, and then a shared bathroom, kitchen, lounge and garden. You will share with players from other Countries who will be in England for the same reason - playing, coaching and the opportunity to travel.

Compensation

The costs of your food and drink will be covered for the duration of your stay.

Coaching opportunities

We expect 10 hours of coaching at the club and in local schools in return for the costs of food and housing. There may also be opportunities for additional coaching if travel visas allow.

Job

As mentioned above, we can support with additional coaching work IF your travel visa allows you to be paid.

Flight

We can offer to help with the costs of flights in return for additional coaching on top of the 10 hours per week we ask for in return for your food and housing.

Vehicle

All players are provided with bicycles to get around locally (the house is a couple of miles from the club) and then club members will be happy to collect players from the house as much as we can for training and matches.
