Ebuka Kwelele
Glenmuir United Football Club are delighted to announce that U-13 player Ebuka Kwelele has been selected by Celtic Soccer Academy Coaches to attend Glasgow during the October mid-term break for week long training sessions with Celtic Youth academy.
This is an all-expenses paid opportunity by Celtic and is viewed as an extension of the initial opportunity presented to players that have been selected.
Ebuka was selected after attending an elite player opportunity academy camp in Dublin three weeks ago along with other participating clubs. Ebuka also attended the October Soccer Camp held at Glenmuir Park and also travelled to Glasgow with the Glenmuir team for a tour and coaching week last April.
Celtic Soccer Academy International Manager Tony Massie expressed huge thanks to all Glenmuir FC players for taking part and emphasised on their tremendous attitude, appetite to play the game and desire to learn.
All players present represented their club, family and themselves extremely well. The coaches commented on how hungry many of the players in their groups were to find out more; specifics about their positions and technical information to help them improve.
He hopes that every player took something away from the weekend, from the lecture theatre activity, to taking on board the information relayed to them as a group and as an individual on the field by their coach.
With the same kind of application to their game and working hard on the things they were taught, hopefully we will see more players from the same event next year over at Celtic to show their capabilities.
Such is the interest in Glenmuir’s partnership with Glasgow Celtic, Glenmuir United Football Club have announced that from next season onwards the club are to hold a player registration day for age groups at U-10 to U-18, a date will be announced very soon. This is due to the demand of players wanting to join the club and is a reflection of the very successful running of the club and coaching structure which has been developed over the past number of years.
Three other players were also selected from Partner Clubs to travel to Glasgow in October, two players from Pike Rovers (Limerick) and one player from St. Joseph’s (Dublin).
All at Glenmuir United Football Club would like to wish Ebuka and the other three lads all the best in the coming months!
