A TEAM of budding young footballers are all celebrating making moves to Premier League clubs.
Hannakins Farm’s under eight team had a squad of 10 last season. And they have now all be signed by top level clubs, much to the delight of Hannakins’ youth development officer Lee Fisher.
“Eight of the boys have gone to West Ham, one has gone to Chelsea and one has gone to Spurs so we’re very proud,” said Fisher.
“Many of the boys started with me at the First Kicks academy when they were about three and great to see them doing well.
"Who knows what we happen from here but we wish them all the very best and this is actually the second time in three years we’ve had this happen.”
Hannakins, who play in Billericay, boast more than 40 teams.
