Episode 1
Sixteen footballers rejected by top clubs join a unique camp to help with their issues off the pitch and try to get a new professional contract.
Sixteen footballers aged 18 to 26, all rejected by top clubs, arrive at a unique training camp. This week, they are joined by Premier league star Bruno Fernandes.
Throughout the four-week process, they’ll be visited at regular intervals by presenter Roman Kemp, who once dreamed of becoming pro himself, and who will talk with the players about the experiences that have led them here.
Based at Manchester City’s former training ground, the club has been set up by former Premier League player Gifton Noel-Williams. Together with coaches Jordan Broadbent and Lola Ogunbote, he wants to give these boys a second chance and see whether one-to-one mentoring, both on and off the pitch, can get them back in work, in the game they love.
Gifton needs the boys to turn into a team fast so that they can play in front of scouts who could offer them professional contracts again.
