The Pathways Project is a career transition initiative designed for aspiring footballers aged 15–22, with a focus on professional academy players. It aims to guide them through exploring diverse career pathways beyond football.

To apply, simply fill out the online form, sharing details about your passion for football and your interest in other career opportunities. We'll review your application and get back to you with the next steps.

The project spans various industries, including tech, property, gaming, and finance. Our goal is to help you discover and navigate potential career paths aligned with your skills and interests.

We provide a tailored framework addressing personal uncertainties and challenges post-football. The project aims to empower players, offering guidance and resources for a seamless transition into alternative careers.

We do believe in focusing on football until it is no longer a viable option because we believe in the dream. It's designed to help individuals explore diverse career options if they believe football is no longer viable.

The Pathways Project stands out by providing industry-specific support to maximise young player’s potential beyond the pitch.

It will take a few days.

There is no time limit, as long as the player wants to explore other avenues.

We understand mental health can be low when a player recognizes football is no longer viable, so we have a network of mental health practitioners to support players.
