The Yorkshire Advanced Football Centre, which has been in existence for two months, now has almost 150 children on its roster, aged from three to 12.

Coaches Mark Senior and Mick Couzens have invited players from such junior clubs as Thackley, Eccleshill United, Prospect, Wyke Wanderers and Bradford United.

Sessions are held at the Goals Soccer Centre and Hanson School and, following under-eight to under-11 matches against Barnsley Football Club, seven boys were invited to the professional club for trials.

The head coaches have organised for the players to be trained by Manchester United coaches at the world-famous Cliff complex during the February half-term break, and also on the cards are guided tours of Premiership grounds such as Liverpool, Everton, Manchester City and Manchester United.
