We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Year 9 student Hallie, who has signed for Manchester City after successfully completing a highly competitive trial process.

Hallie's football journey began at the age of seven through the Wildcats programme. She went on to play for Lostock Hall Juniors Under-9 Boys, continuing with the team until Under-12 level while also playing for a girls' team a year above her age group and attending Preston North End's Emerging Talent Centre (ETC).

Last season proved particularly successful. Playing for Lostock Hall St Gerard's Girls, Hallie was part of a team that went unbeaten throughout the entire season, winning both the league and cup competitions. During the same period, she had the honour of captaining the South Ribble Representative Team while also attending Manchester United's Emerging Talent Centre.

Her hard work and performances then led to even greater opportunities. Hallie was invited to train with Manchester United Academy for eight weeks before earning the opportunity to trial for Manchester City. Following six weeks of trials, she was offered a place and officially signed for the club.

Being part of Manchester City's programme requires a significant commitment. Hallie currently trains three times every week and regularly represents the club in fixtures while continuing to play grassroots football and represent Lancashire Under-14s.

Hallie's success is the result of years of dedication, perseverance and a genuine love for the game. Her journey demonstrates what can be achieved through hard work, commitment and a willingness to embrace every opportunity.

We are incredibly proud of everything Hallie has achieved so far and look forward to following her progress in the years ahead.

Congratulations, Hallie, on this remarkable achievement. We wish you every success for the future.
