The Clubs in the League have produced many players over the years who have progressed to professional and non league contracts. For a player to succeed in this league they not only have to work hard on the pitch and but also in the lecture room and it is a joint effort between the coaching and academic staff for the young person to truly succeed.
The number of players listed below is an accolade to the high standard of coaching, facilities, support from the clubs and their education partners to make sure the player is in a professional environment where they can improve , thrive and make that step to the next level. It is also fantastic to see some of the players receiving International honours for their countries.
