Rochdale AFC will be joining the NFYL next season with centres based in Rochdale and in the West Midlands

Deon Burton has joined with Rochdale AFC and The Coleshill School to deliver a bespoke football Academy in the Midlands aiming to bridge the gap between grassroots and academy football.
Deon, now an A Licence coach, had a successful professional footballing career, which has spanned over 20 years and included representing Jamaica in the World Cup. He played in over 650 games, scored over 160 goals including 12 goals for Jamaica.
He hung up his boots for the last time in 2016 at the age of 39. He is respected by peers in the industry and prides himself on his dedication, professionalism and communication skills.
He has also played outside of the UK, having played in Azerbaijan, under former England and Arsenal Captain Tony Adams.
Deon is hoping to cascade his knowledge and experience to his players and has developed a system to ensure an appropriate pathwey for each player, whether that be professional, non league or in the USA.
There are limited places available on the course. Trials will take place on 11th April and 20th April at Pack Meadow in Coleshill. To book your place please email DBFA2017@gmail.com and see the attached leaflet for more information.
