Two UK Football Schools & Trials Graduates Face Off in Premier League Clash 

We’re incredibly proud to share a momentous milestone for UK Football Schools and UK Football Trials: two of our former students — Daniel Jebbison and Bade Aluko — recently played in the same Premier League match, each representing different clubs but sharing a powerful connection to our programmes. 

This moment highlights just how far a journey that starts at a UK football school or trial event can go — all the way to the biggest stage in English football. 

From UK Football Trials to the Premier League: Daniel Jebbison 

Daniel Jebbison, who played in our UK Football Trials events, is no stranger to the Premier League spotlight. Having previously made history by becoming the youngest player to score on his first Premier League start, Jebbison’s rise has been extraordinary. Most recently, he featured for Bournemouth, showcasing the kind of speed, strength, and technical ability that first caught attention during his time at our trials. 

Daniel’s journey is a testament to how UK Football Trials can offer the perfect platform for young players to be seen, improve, and ultimately progress into professional environments. Our events have helped thousands of aspiring players from around the world connect with scouts and clubs — and Daniel is living proof of where that can lead. 

Bade Aluko: A Graduate of Specialist Football Boarding Schools in the UK 

On the opposing side, making his Premier League debut for Leicester City, was Bade Aluko, a standout graduate of our specialist football boarding schools in the UK. Bade has progressed through one of our elite UK football schools, where academic excellence is paired with top-tier coaching and development. 

Bade’s path was shaped by the opportunities offered at one of the top private schools in England for football, where players benefit from daily training, personalised development plans, and academic support in a structured boarding school environment. 

His debut not only reflects his talent and hard work but also showcases the incredible standard of our football boarding schools in England — environments where young athletes can thrive both on and off the pitch.
