“The new facilities have enabled me to achieve so much already in just a good few months. It definitely helped me break into the sixth form first team. Four or five years ago before the football centre I could not have even dreamed that was possible.
“It has also benefited me professionally, as I now have a job there. I do various things such as coaching, refereeing and even something as simple as running the centre.
“Since the facilities were opened it has given me so much and it will most definitely give me more in the future.”
