But before we get onto that… The Summer of SCOUTED is finally here!

We have massive things in the pipeline for the coming months, as the primer above showcases, but we need your help to hit 700 paid subscribers as soon as possible in order to keep the lights on at SCOUTED HQ.

That’s why we’re doing a big subscription drive to help us get there. If you can spare a coffee a month, you’ll keep an independent outlet going and get the best youth football journalism anywhere on the internet in return. G’wan.
