Cheltenham Town Player Pathway FAQs
'The reason I chose to study at St Brendan’s was that the staff and coaches really appealed to me. I was torn between two colleges and the quality of coaches was second to none, therefore I had no other option but to go here. All three of Jake, Bill and Ash are outstanding both in the classroom and outside. My plans after college are to either go into professional football through the Cheltenham pathway that we have or further my education over in America. I feel like both are realistic goals for me and are excellent opportunities provided through the Cheltenham Town FC Player Pathway course.'
