Hugo, a student at Romsey Secondary School, has already had a taste of men’s football, having made his Wessex League Division One debut as a second-half substitute for Totton & Eling FC. Wiltshire resident Zach spent many of his formative years growing up in Toulouse in the South of France, where he played for a local football club, and now attends the Trafalgar School at Downton playing for the school team. Both players will enrol in the AFC Totton Academy in courses that provide an industry-speci c alternative to traditional Sixth Form education. During an impromptu meeting with the two young players and their parents, which was also attended by Academy Managers Scott Rendell and Harry Brookwell, Jimmy Ball gave a short presentation in which he outlined how he will go about getting the most out of the two players to help them achieve their full potential. “My job is to put your footballing career first – above and beyond what I want as AFC Totton’s Manager, or what your parents want or what the CEO might want. Protecting young players and helping them to develop is my number one priority. The pathway is not linear but the key to it is trust, hard work and sacrifice,” explained Jimmy Ball, who has been combining his role as AFC Totton First Team Manager at the Snows Stadium with that of Academy Director since his appointment in March 2022.
