WHAT THE PROS ARE SAYING

"Having previously worked with Jonny, and seen first hand the methods used by EMC Academy I would highly recommend them to any player in the Kent area looking for elite coaching."

TQ Addy - Luton Town FC

"Having worked with both Jonny and Henry last season I know their game knowledge is right up there with the best in the business. I am grateful for the time they invested in helping me at a key stage in my development. Both have great man-management techniques to match their technical knowledge, I really enjoyed my time working with them and hope to do so again in the future."

Kasper Lopata - Sheffield United FC and Poland Under 21s

"I've recently worked alongside some of the staff from EMC Academy and have personally witnessed the professionalism and attention to detail of their training programme. The concept and opportunities they are providing in their full-time Academy provide youngsters with a marvellous opportunity to fulfil their dreams of becoming a professional player. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

Alan Bennett - Former Republic of Ireland international

"The EMC Academy coaching is top class. Very professional and supportive.

It helped me so much. I'm thankful for everything."
