PitchPlay Welcomes Zambian Student

Ahijah arrives from Zambia, ready to start his academic and football course.

We meet up with Ahijah when he arrived at a partner academy to start a two-year long education course at an independent academy. Meeting on arrival day is a benefit to our welfare packages offered to international students, to ensure students have the best possible start to their course.

"I can't wait to get started on the training field."

Throughout his course, we will be on hand to help support and provide further development opportunities. From online courses, independent scouting reports and life skill sessions, will provide a solid foundation that will work alongside his education and football programme.

Speaking to us Ahijah said, "I'm looking forward to developing as a player, and learning from the coaching staff. It was great to have the guys from PitchPlay there when I arrived, they made sure I had everything sorted which made everything easier. I can't wait to get started on the training field, with my team mates. And I'm looking forward to all the additional benefits on offer with PitchPlay."
