Club Viewpoint

John Bellinger - Chelsea FC

I have attended several footballcv.com Trials Days now and have always found them very well organised. The idea of watching over 100 players in one day is of great benefit to a scout and will continue to support the trials in the future.

Dave Hobson - Manchester United FC

I have attended several footballcv.com Trials Days in the past and have found them useful in my role as a scout for Manchester United FC. The standard of the players has been above average and I will continue to attend future trials when I can.

Jim Nichol - Newcastle United FC

North-East giants Newcastle Utd are the latest club to show their support for footballcv.com. Jim Nichol a scout for the club, who has attended previous Trials Days, commented "Having attended the inaugural footballcv Trials Day on behalf of Newcastle Utd, I fully appreciated the friendly and sociable welcome and found the trials very well organised with the standard of the players being very good. Long may the Trials Days continue!

Steve Hajduk - Aston Villa FC

I have attended numerous Football CV.com trial days and have always found them to be very well organised with great care taken to make sure that everyone has a chance to show what they can do. Scouts like myself are always given all the information we need if we wish to contact any player.

Steve Carpenter - Charlton Athletic FC

I find the trials days are very useful in my role for scouting youth talent. footballcv run them very professionally and are always hospitbale. I will always endeavour to attend their trials and use their website.

Trevor Todd - Leeds United FC

I would like to thank you for the invitation to attend your recent Trial Evaluation days at the Goals Centre in Sheffield and Middlesbrough. Both events were well organised and the footballcv.com staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. Some players develop much later than others, these players normally get overlooked. It is very important to get players in the Academy/Centre of Excellence system as soon as possible but it is never too late. Some older players can still make the grade, if they are technically good enough and have a good level of fitness.

Bob Hughes - Manchester City FC

Bob Hughes, the Manchester City scout who spotted Kieran Davies said, "We hope Kieran develops with us and one day breaks through to the first team. The trials days are of great benefit to clubs at all levels, including the Premiership clubs and goes to show there is some exceptional talent on show. Footballcv also looked after us very well."

Tony Painter - Blackburn Rovers FC

Footballcv.com trials are a good way for a scout to see up to 100 potential players at one time. They are always run professionally, with a friendly atmosphere. I have attended many trial days run by Footballcv.com and will continue to do so in the future.

Bob Mullan - Leicester City FC

Bob Mullan, Recruitment and Admin Manager at Leicester City said "footballcv.com have found a new innovative way of bringing together club representatives and would be trialists of all ages. The quick turnaround and professional approach of footballcv.com means scouts have the opportunity to see the largest number of players in the shortest possible time. Leicester City have already benefited from attending previous Trials Days and will certainly be in attendance at future trials days."

David Winwood - West Bromwich Albion FC

David Winwood - currently Youth Scout for West Bromwich Albion who has also scouted for Manchester United, Arsena and Preston North Endl and has 32 years experience as a scout. "I think Footballcv.com is a great idea. It gives the clubs the chance to pick players who could be late developers or who missed the boat. Following the first Footballcv Trials Day two lads came to Preston, one from Grimsby. Also the hospitality was first class and we were very well looked after.

David McNish - Grimsby Town FC

Dave McNish, Senior Scout at Grimsby Town FC says "We are constantly searching for talented young players with good technical ability and a desire to succeed. With this in mind I have attended the majority of footballcv's Trials Days and as a result my club has taken several young players on extended trials."

Billy McKie - Ayr United FC

"Many thanks, you provide an excellent resource. Ayr United FC will continue to use and support Football CV.Com. " Billy McKie, Ayr United FC, Academy 19's Coach.

John Rains - Sutton United FC

John Rains, Sutton United manager says "The footballcv Trials Days are an excellent way to find new players. It is alright being sent information on players but really you need to see them playing and the trials are a great way of being able to do that."

Richard Jobson – Professional Footballers Association

“From the PFA's point of view, we were delighted in the way in which the trials were organised and run on the three nights last week. Thanks and congratulations must go to all the staff at footballcv.com for all their hard work and effort which ensured that the project was a major success.” Richard Jobson – Professional Footballers Association (May 2007) on the LFE Assessment Trials run in association with the PFA and footballcv.com Ltd

Gordon Taylor - Professional Footballers Association

Footballcv.com teamed up with The Professional Footballers Association during May 2006 to run a series of trials for young players released from their contracts and scholarships from Premiership and Football League clubs.

The PFA have found that many are released with little opportunity to showcase their talent to other clubs in the close season. With this in mind they joined forces with footballcv.com to run ‘exit trials’.

Gordon Taylor, Chief Executive of the PFA commented “We have teamed up with footballcv.com to enhance the existing PFA disengaged system by helping our members seek re-engagement through the organisation of trial matches.”

Graham Starmer, Managing Director of footballcv.com Ltd, reiterated saying “We are delighted to be working with the PFA and believe these trials will considerably benefit young players in finding a new club”.

Terry Holbrook - Former Premier League Referee

“Having been involved at Footballcv.com events for a number of years, I am pleased to see so many talented players get the chance to perform in front of club scouts. Having worked at the highest level in football I can say the trial days are professionally run and give players the opportunity to perform at some of the countries best stadiums and at the same time impress potential employers.”
