What you are about to read show outstanding results and proves that Soccer Elite FA are producing Stars Of The Future !!!
Bradley Comins
Bradley Comins was the first member of Soccer Elite FA to shine in front of League opposition scouts producing an outstanding performance in goal against Crystal Palace FC, Brad was playing in defence in the Advanced Academy but impressed Soccer Elite's head coaches Lee Spiller and Tony Browne at a half term soccer school when he was taking his turn in goal. The young star has never looked back and is starting his second year with the Championship side. Well Done Brad !!!
Ryan Golding, Joe Ford, Connor Morgan & Harrison Wood
These four outstanding players all caught the eye of the Gillingham FC scouts playing a friendly fixture for Soccer Elite FA at the University of Kent in Canterbury and were asked to go on trial. The boys worked tirelesly over the next six weeks and continued to impress the staff at the Gillingham Academy and were signed on academy forms. All four of the boys have been offered another years contract with the Gills for the coming 2008/2009 season. Well done lads!!
Ellis Iandolo and Mitchell Dickenson
are two of boys who were withSoccer Elite FA from the start. It was easy for Lee & Tony to see the potential in both boys straight away and it wasn't long before they started to impress putting in some outstanding performances during academy training sessions and soccer schools. Ellis was the player to score Soccer Elite FA's first goal during the academy's opening game against Crystal Palace FC. The boys grew in confidence game by game and showed their class in a friendly fixture against Gillingham FC raising eyebrows and being offered a six week contract. Mitchell and Ellis worked really hard to impress the Gillingham staff further and were offered academy contracts. They are now about to enter their second season with the Gills. This success story is a perfect example to others that with hard work and dedication young players can achieve their dreams. Congratulations boys!!

Kane Butler
has been training with Soccer Elite FA for over a year and has played in many friendly fixtures including Crystal Palace and Gillingham. Kane was asked back to Crystal Palace and played the rest of the 2007/2008 season. He has been asked to go back on trial with the Eagles, as well as generating interest from Gillingham FC. We are sure whoever Kane playes for will find him a great addition to their team.

The boys were hot property and were being chased by a number of sides, it was the Gills who commited quickly and offered the boys academy contracts.
