Kofi Moore

Oldham Athletic U18s

James and Carlton have been superb with me. The detail of sessions are nothing I’ve had before and the way they adapt sessions to your personal needs is top class. Really enjoyed working with them and can’t wait to be back post-injury.

Dominic Mchale

Telford Utd, Former Manchester City and Barnsley

All the coaches support me really well and push you to your limits. Every time you go you know you're expecting hard work and fun as the sessions are enjoyable as well. I can see changes in my game from these sessions.

Ellis Horan

Preston U18

Coming to Football Factory is so much fun and helps me to keep improving. I used to play as an attacker, but recently was moved as a defender. Football Factory helped me with this change and I love playing as a defender now.

Lewis JC

I came to Football Factory in the pre-season to keep on top of my fitness and keep sharp. Carlton's a top coach and I’ve enjoyed working with him over these past few years.
