PlayerWanted.co.uk is a unique free service for all sports which gives players the chance to find a club or team in their area in their preferred sport and enables coaches and managers to post adverts for new players.
It is the brainchild of youth football manager and dad Adam Gilham, who runs an Under 11s team with FA Charter Standard club Beacons FC in South East London.
He found it hard to advertise for players and realised how daunting it was for parents and players to find a club near them.
He said: “Like many coaches, I’ve used local papers to advertise for players but not all of them have a Players Wanted section and even then it is very hit and miss.”
“Speaking to fellow managers, I realised how hard it was to try and advertise for new players and that there was no national database out there where coaches could advertise for players in a simple way – so I decided to create one myself.”
