Welcome by Ryan Kan

Football has been my passion from the time when I started playing for my first team aged 6 and I have played for my schools as well as for a number of teams since then, often as captain, playing mainly as a goalkeeper but occasionally in defence.

Furthermore, I have continued to work on my goalkeeping skills, gaining the attention of several prestigious clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Crystal Palace and playing with Arsenal’s development squad for a season. I also became the youngest ever First XI Goalkeeper in Wilson’s School’s history, making my debut for the U18 squad at 15 years old. After a successful season playing for Croydon FC I am now at Tooting & Mitcham United and I am confident that this season will prove my worth as one of the best youth team Goalkeepers in London. Moreover, from the age of 11 when I passed the entrance exam for Wilson’s Grammar School, I have given the subject of university countless hours of thought. In terms of my education, I went on to secure 4 A grades and 7 B grades in my GCSEs at Wilson’s, before moving to Greenshaw High School for sixth form, where I attained the highest possible grade - an A - in History at AS Level, my favourite subject. I hope to

use this final year of studying and youth team football to provide a platform from which I can kick on next year, continuing to improve my football skills and attaining an A* in History, an A in Politics and a B in English. However, the system in England would then force me to choose between my education and my football, an impossible decision to make.

Therefore, having always admired the American draft system, in particular the MLS Superdraft, I have come to the conclusion that in order to fulfil my aspirations as a footballer whilst continuing my education, I will have to take the difficult but exciting step to complete my schooling in America.

I believe I have the ability to both succeed in my study and be an asset for any team, as proven by my record at Croydon FC last season, in possibly the most competitive semi-professional youth league in the country.
