George Signs Early Professional Contract with Wigan Athletic

We are delighted to share some fantastic news from over the Easter break, as our Year 11 student George S celebrated his official scholarship signing day with Wigan Athletic, marking a major milestone in his football journey.

In an extraordinary achievement, George has been offered a one‑year professional football contract two years early, a rare accomplishment that highlights both his talent and his dedication to the sport. We are immensely proud of everything he has achieved so far.

George’s journey with Wigan Athletic began when he joined the club at just seven years old. He was offered his first academy contract at the age of eight, followed by his scholarship contract at only fourteen, again two years ahead of the usual schedule. Now, he has reached another remarkable milestone with the offer of his first professional contract, which will begin once he completes his scholarship.

This progression reflects years of hard work, commitment and passion and it is wonderful to see George’s efforts recognised at such a high level. He continues to be a fantastic ambassador for our school, demonstrating determination, dedication and hard work.

We are thrilled to share some photos from his special day and look forward to following his journey as he takes this exciting next step in his football career.
