“Paul has been involved in Football both as a player and Coach for more than 20 years and has played at the highest level against the best players in the world. He has taken players from New Zealand and Australia to play against professional clubs in England. This is a splendid opportunity for Arzan,” he said.

The engagement in UK is for 15 to 19 year olds with 16 places available.

The team will play six to eight Games against Professional and Semi Professional Academy and youth sides in September and October 2018 (such as Aston Villa, Chelsea, West Brom, Charlton, Colchester, Norwich, Ipswich and Northampton).
