Two disciplines, one agency. The craft that happens on the grass, and the cold arithmetic of the contract that follows it — handled by people who show you their working.
Anyone can forward a highlight reel. Very few people can tell a twenty-two-year-old whether the offer in front of him is the one that builds a career or the one that quietly ends it.
TNSM was founded in 2018 on a simple discipline: never present a number without the reasoning behind it. Every contract we negotiate is modelled clause by clause. Every player we recommend arrives with footage, physical data and an honest note on where they would struggle. It makes for harder conversations and better careers.

The name is the method. One half of this agency lives at the training ground. The other half lives in the spreadsheet. A career needs both, and most players are only ever offered one.
Scouts in stadiums, not on streaming platforms. Coaches we have known for a decade. The judgement that tells you a player's first touch will survive a level up — something no model has ever measured.
Comparable wage bands, appearance triggers, sell-on structures, tax exposure and five-year projections. Everything modelled before it is signed, and everything shown to the player in plain language.
From the first assessment call to the last contract of a career — and the commercial life that outlasts it.
Full FIFA-compliant representation across the length of a career, not the length of a transfer window.
DetailEvery clause modelled before it is signed. Bonuses, release terms, image rights, tax exposure.
DetailA live network across 32 countries, from grassroots pitches to first-team benches.
DetailThe move that is right this summer is not always the move that is right for the career.
DetailImage rights, endorsements and partnerships that fit the player rather than the payday.
DetailSpecialist counsel on registration, disputes, relocation, tax residency and life after football.
Detail
The same process for a Championship regular and an eighteen-year-old out of an academy. Only the numbers change.
A structured review of footage, physical data, contract status and ambition. We tell you honestly where you sit in the market — including when the answer is not what you hoped.
A written five-year career map: target leagues, realistic wage bands, the minutes needed at each stage and the clubs whose systems actually fit how you play.
We work our club network directly — sporting directors, heads of recruitment, coaches. Real conversations with named decision-makers, never mass emails.
Every offer modelled clause by clause before you see it, so the decision is made on complete information and the numbers are never a surprise.
Once signed, the work continues: welfare, relocation, performance reviews, renewal timing and the commercial side building quietly in the background.
Senior professionals and academy talent across nine leagues. A deliberately small list — we take on what we can genuinely serve.
Give us the profile — position, system, budget band, timeline — and you get a written shortlist with match footage, physical data, verified availability and a candid note on where each player would struggle.
How we work with clubsThey showed me the model behind the offer — every bonus, every clause, what it was actually worth over four years. No other agent had ever put a number in front of me and explained it.
TNSM send us shortlists with footage, physical data and an honest note on where the player would struggle. That last part is why we keep taking their calls.
My son was eighteen and being told what he wanted to hear by three agencies. TNSM told him the truth, gave him a plan, and eighteen months later he had a professional contract.
