Coaches Comments:

“Leon has truly shone this half-term, not only for his skill and technical ability but also for the way he carries himself on and off the pitch. He’s a genuinely kind and respectful individual who brings positivity to every session.

Despite playing with older players, Leon has excelled, consistently showing he can rise to the challenge. His game understanding and ability to take coaching feedback on board have helped him grow tremendously. With the ball at his feet, he’s creative, unpredictable, and always keeps the opposition guessing.

Keep up the fantastic work Leon, and never lose your positive attitude—it’s what makes you a joy to coach!”
