@RoversXtra If true, a huge loss to @Rovers & @academy_brfc , he's been instrumental in the improvement in the caliber of keepers at the club both coming through the academy and within the 1st team and the quality and depth of coaching 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Michael hodds @HoddsMichael]

@Stuartcross1987 Hi Stuart, thank you, & I'll pass this onto him. The ask comes from the FAs feedback from his last application, that he'd improve his GK B licence chance if he was at a professional club (men/female) or within an academy.
Thanks

[Michael hodds @HoddsMichael]

👀 an opportunity for my son (22) with a professional academy or ladies’ football setup in the NW (England). He currently holds a UEFA C/National GK certificate, his B GK application wasn't successful last year hence the ask. DM's to me would be greatly appr🙏🏻-thanks in advance!
