“Soham is a club we are very familiar with, having worked with Daren for a number of years, as well as representing his son Harry, Ben Curtis and Henry Jolland, who are now all playing and studying in America. Hopefully there will be plenty more players from the club benefiting from this life-changing opportunity and career pathways following their college experience in the USA, including opportunities back in the UK.

Director of Football, Daren Hayward, added: ‘This partnership creates fantastic opportunities for players throughout our pathway. Not only does it provide access to life-changing scholarship opportunities in the United States, but it also opens doors for our young players to represent Soham Town Rangers FC in tournaments across Europe and the USA, gaining invaluable experience both on and off the pitch.’

A huge thanks to Daren for his help in bringing our organisations together. We are all excited to be officially working with a club that not only has a great history locally but also huge ambitions for the future.”
