We’ve gone from strength to strength over the past few years, both with our performance levels and our offer for our players. We have a very strong group of players who are all making very positive strides towards their goals.

We are also very firmly in a position to support our players in the best possible manner, with a thorough programme and expertise right across the board in terms of the support services. If you want to excel academically and athletically then you need look no further."
