FGS client Matheus Santos enjoys Premier League trial

Future Global Sports client Matheus Santos enjoyed a trial with Premier League club AFC Bournemouth this week.

Santos, 19, is hotly tipped as one of the most exciting young players in non-league football, and this was shown recently with interest from Premier League and Championship clubs. 

Santos recently won the league with his club Barking and is enjoying his football of late. In a trial match for Barking against Premier League promotion chasers Brighton and Hove Albion he scored a goal and did well. 

 

Barking's academy manager was full of praise for Matheus:

"I think Matheus is maturing as a young lad with his communication skills and his dedication for learning and the penny has dropped.

“He did very well at Brighton and ran them ragged and a couple of other clubs have been to watch him and he got an opportunity down at Bournemouth.

“It can never be bad news because he has got that experience in his locker now and say negatively they bounce him, he has still been at a Premier League club.

“Whatever they tell him to work at – that is now the barrier for him and it is where he will wish he can get to.

“Even if he goes League Two, League One or the Championship, he will strive to get to where he was last week with Bournemouth, so it is a psychological driver.”

Matheus is just one of a number of Future Global Sports clients working very hard at the moment and attracting attention from big clubs. We're happy with the progress he is making and tip him to go far if he continues learning.

Talented keeper Tom McHale signs with Future Global Sports

Future Global Sports is delighted to announce that Tom McHale has appointed us to act as his representatives.

McHale, 21, is a talented young goalkeeper currently on loan at Weymouth FC from Truro City, where he has been highlighted as one of the best young keepers in non-league.

The stopper began his career at Bodmin Town. At Truro he made 12 appearances in the National League South last season and another 14 in 2016/17 before a loan move to Weymouth FC in December.

There McHale has been outstanding, showing why he is tipped to move up through the leagues very quickly with a string of quality performances.

“He has been excellent in coming for his crosses and his attitude has been fantastic," Weymouth manager Jason Matthews has said.
“He has been a breath of fresh air and he has got some drive and that is good to see in a young lad. It has been nice to go out, do a little bit of work with him and see his hunger. Even when he is warming up, he works really hard.”

"He can make world-class saves," his manager Lee Hodges commented last season.

At Future Global Sports we are committed to working with and helping develop the best young talents, and Tom certainly fits into that category. The hard work starts now, but we're delighted to welcome Tom to the FGS family.

McHale is Future!
