There have been significant developments at Fulham’s Academy in recent times, as the Club continues in its quest to recruit players of outstanding potential that can be nurtured into future First Team players.

The Academy is central to the Club’s current and future plans, highlighted by an aggressive recruitment drive over the past 18 months which has seen the Club gain a wealth of experience and knowledge that will lead the Academy into arguably the most exciting era in its history.

Further high profile appointments followed in the summer of 2009 including former Liverpool FC Academy Director Malcolm Elias, who joined FFC as Head of Talent ID and Recruitment.
