What you get
Recruitment
Recruitment
support that
saves you weeks
Most of a recruitment team's time is lost on players who were never gettable. We remove that step before a name reaches your desk.
Verified availability
Contract status, release terms and wage expectation confirmed before a name reaches your desk, so no time is lost on players who were never gettable.
Trial coordination
Travel, registration, insurance and eligibility handled end to end. Your staff assess the player; we handle everything around them.
Deal execution
Negotiation, documentation and registration managed to deadline, with a single named contact from first call to lodged paperwork.
The shortlist process
Brief to bench
Brief to bench
in five steps
The brief
Position, system, age band, budget, contract length and the timeline you are working to. A twenty-minute call is usually enough.
The search
We run the brief across our represented roster and our wider scouting network in 32 countries, including markets most agencies do not reach.
The shortlist
Typically five to nine names, each with full-match footage, physical data, contract status, wage expectation and an honest fit assessment. Usually within five working days.
The viewing
We arrange live viewings or trials — travel, registration, insurance and eligibility handled end to end so your staff only have to assess football.
The deal
Negotiation, documentation and registration managed to deadline, with a single named contact from first call to lodged paperwork.

The network
Depth where it
Depth where it
actually matters
Our strongest networks are in the United Kingdom, Benelux, Iberia, France, Scandinavia, the Gulf and West Africa. Those are markets where we can pick up the phone to a named decision-maker the same day.
Outside them we work through vetted partners and we say so. An agency that claims equal reach in every market is claiming something no agency has ever had.
