    Open Trials to be held later this year with professional contract on offer

    A professional contract at Brentford FC will be up for

    grabs when the Club hosts open trials later this year.

    The Club’s Academy is running a two-day trial for

    players aged 16 to 21, born between December 13 1994

    and December 12 1999, on December 12 and 13.

    The trial will see players put through their paces at

    Brentford’s Jersey Road Training Ground.

    All players will get training with the coaching team

    at Brentford’s Category Two Football Academy,

    working with some of the finest development coaches in London.

    Every attendee will also be exposed to match scenarios

    with individual written feedback after the game and the

    best will be invited to play in a match against

    Brentford's Elite Academy Squad.

    Anyone who reaches the required level will be invited

    back for further training with the chance to earn a

    professional contract with Brentford FC. In the past

    two years eight players have been invited to train with

    Brentford for a week and given a chance to earn a full-time

    professional deal after impressing on the trial. 

    The trial is for outfield players and goalkeepers but

    applicants should be aware that there are limited

    spaces for goalkeepers available.

    A £40 fee will be charged for the trial.

    More information and booking forms are available HERE

    on the Open Trial flyer - Brentford FC Open Trials December 2015.

    Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served

    basis so book early to avoid disappointment.
