A really enjoyable evening last night for the @workinfootball_ event back at @Pompey . Really appreciated the invite to go and speak. It was fantastic to meet and talk with so many people aspiring to get into the football industry. Happy to help and advise anyone on their journey

Another proud moment to see Ruairi make his senior debut. A lot of hard work by the recruitment team went into to securing this fantastic young man. Many more in the system on the way too 🤞🏻⚽️

👏 9 years ago, the academy targeted having 30% of first team minutes played by academy grads over the course of a season.

In 2020/21, they surpassed that target for the first time, giving more minutes to academy graduates than any other team in the @PremierLeague.
