We are proud to announce Manchester City Football Academy’s newest player is a member of Team Woodlands!
Kai in Miss Hobson’s class was selected to join the Premier League club’s football academy after he took part in a trial at his local football club.
"Kai is super excited and we are so proud of him! He was playing for Colton Juniors and his Dad decided to take him for the trial. He was chosen that day to join them!"
-Kai’s Mum
Kair started Foot Tech last September which he used to go every Monday evening. From there, Colton Tots emailed Kai’s dad to say they had a space available to train on a Saturday morning which he started this summer. Kai’s parents kept him at both clubs and, after a few sessions at Colton, his coach said they’d seen Kai’s progression and amazing skills and asked if he would like to train for Manchester City!
"He doesn’t play a certain position it’s literally just training. Kai’s favourite footballer is Ronaldo who plays for Manchester United. Kai absolutely loves going and enjoys playing every week. I mean of course we are so proud!"
-Kai’s Mum
Miss Hobson, and all the staff at Co-op Academy Woodlands are so proud of Kai and we wish him the best in his training at the academy.
