From Football & Education Programme to First Team
Northampton Town midfielder Scott Pollock made history on Saturday by becoming the first player from the club’s Football & Education programme to play for the first team.
The Northampton Town Football & Education programme is a full-time education programme for 16-18-year-olds, combing high quality, formal education qualification with a programme of sports industry specific work experience and, potentially, playing opportunities.
The club’s player pathway allows for the progression of players through the programme into the senior Academy team and then possibly into the first team squad.
The club operates the Football & Education programme from two education centres in Northampton, and only last September HRH Princess Royal opened the latest education centre at the club’s St Crispins Campus.
17-year-old midfielder Pollock signed a 2-year scholarship contract with Northampton Town earlier this season and was formerly a player of Youtube Sensations Hashtag United.
