FootballCV, one of our proud partners, recently celebrated its 25th anniversary and announced a rebrand to reflect its global reach in the game.
The international football consultants, who have been managing operations and events since 2000 – including our very own Assessment Trials – are now known as Football105.
The company began as a website that was likely the first of its kind – a CV-style portal that enabled unsigned footballers to register their details for professional clubs and scouts to access.
FootballCV quickly expanded from its database to run trial days, first at the old Rockingham Road stadium which was home to Kettering Town until 2011. Sixfields Stadium hosted an event in Northampton shortly after, before the trials scaled up to Premier League and EFL stadiums around the country.
More recently, having founded and managed the UK’s first private international football academy for 15 years before selling to new owners, FootballCV’s services have expanded tenfold. Football operations, investments, coach education, communication, player recruitment and pathways, and camp delivery are all part of the company’s growing arsenal.
Discussing the company’s milestone and rebrand, Co-founder Graham Starmer said: “I am very proud about FootballCV’s origins, opening doors to new opportunities for hundreds of out-of-contract footballers.
“This is something that remains at the core of our day-to-day operation, as we continue to manage the delivery of football camps for young players from the UK and Europe, while also expanding our services to the board level at clubs and organisations.
“There are lots of people – far too many to mention – who I’d like to thank for playing their part in the last 25 years. While football is the focus, any successful club or organisation in this game is built for people, by people.
“I’m looking forward to continuing to work with many long-standing friends and projects as part of Football105, and expand our footprint in the global game.”
