FCV Academy scholar finals and Easter showcase match

Scouts from across the Premier League, EFL and National League embarked on the Borderville Sports Centre on Friday 7th April 2017 to see FCV Academy's scholarship competition reach its conclusion, including the showcase match.

After teaming up with FourFourTwo Performance, FCV Academy had two pro level scholarships led by UEFA-qualified coaches on offer: a one-year full scholarship as a day student, and a one-year 50% scholarship on the residential full-time programme.

All entrants into the competition attended a training session with FCV where they were assessed by coaches Ben Watts and Grant Brown, and a lucky few were then selected to return for last week's development camp and showcase match at Borderville.

Now, with the two winners selected, we can reveal the recipient of our full day student scholarship is... Luke Oswick.

Oswick came to FCV as a left-back, and has already been converted by Academy Manager Grant Brown into a central defender - much like the former Lincoln City man himself.

"FCV Academy has already helped me learn a lot," Oswick explained. "Grant has really helped me develop my game in this short space of time, so I can't wait to get going.

"This is an amazing opportunity, and a very exciting time for me."

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...

My son Nikola from Bulgaria spent 12 wonderful days attending the August development camp 2018 at FCV Academy. He is leaving happy, full of emotions and motivated to keep up working hard to achieve his goals.

I owe everyone at the Academy a huge thank you as I would not have had this opportunity without your help and guidance.

I learnt a tremendous amount whilst at the Academy and the coaches there helped to make me the player I am today.

I’ve been truly impressed by the setup from the off the field activities, overall care, education, and of course the football.

I am writing to you to express my gratitude and appreciation for your relentless efforts in helping my son, Manny, to secure a two year scholarship with Brentford FC.
