Will’s work ethic and the support from his family will help him have a great career in football. ⚽️🙌🏻
Will Wright didn't take the traditional academy route. He was still playing grassroots football as an u16.
It's been a whirlwind three years since. From Salford to #LFC, a look at the 18yo who has started the season in exceptional form for the U21's.

"Closing the Academy meant 11 full-time staff lost jobs they’d worked years to earn, 21 part-time staff lost roles that had given a pathway to progress and 101 players and families lost a place of opportunity and belonging."

“Good people create good players.
Great people create great players.”
This was my take from the Premier League Youth Development Conference 24/25.
Same thing goes for every aspect of the football industry.
Make sure to surround yourself with great people. ⚽️ ❤️
