From Rivals & Work-mates, to Team mates & champions - The future lions coaches celebrate winning the league
Future Lions coaches Luke Graham and Paul White have encountered many situations both as players and coaches, and last season Luke found himself on the opposite team to his colleague Paul who is Kettering Towns record setting goalkeeper when they went head to head in a cup final.
Luke, due to turn 33 this month, is a former pro footballer with over 460 appearances in the football league for clubs such as Northampton Town, Mansfield Town and Forest Greeb Rovers, and last season after facing Paul, went on to lift the FA Trophy at Wembley to cap off a wonderful season in what would end up being his last in Brackley Town colours where he enjoyed some excellent seasons making over 89 appearances. He is also a well respected player and is also a Uefa A licensed coach.
Earlier this season the rivalry was put the bed as Luke became team mates with Paul after re signing for one of his former clubs Kettering Town FC. And teammates and in Lukes latter role as a coach with the first team, the pair now have something very special to celebrate as Kettering have just confirmed their promotion and have become champions by winning the Evo Stick Premier Division Central title with 3 games still left to play. It could even see the team surpass the 100pt mark which would be a fantastic achievement. Paul has once more kept a total of 19 clean sheets so far too which is only a few short of his record he set last season.
Kettering Town FC have been promoted back to the Conference which is a great opportunity for our International Players and our students to aim for. It also means that our players get to work with people with a championship winning mentality and who practice what they preach. Something that always comes across in their coaching sessions.
This really is a fantastic opportunity for any young footballer and we are excited to have created a package that’s unique and imposible to beat. That’s why Future Lions is becoming one of the fastest growing brands in International Football and the ONLY place to go in the UK if you are serious about your football career. Nowhere else gets the results we are able to create!
