Nabil Bakkali '17 Recruiting Profile

My name's Nabil Bakkali, I'm a student/player from London, UK and aiming to gain a student-athlete scholarship in the USA.

I think the USA would be a great place for me to develop as a soccer player and hopefully push on to signing a professional contract in the MLS and also gaining a valuable degree. I have played at good quality academy teams  such as Aldershot Town FC U19 and the Pro Touch Soccer Academy (PTSA) in the UK and I currently play for a well known county team in London.

My academic achievements are excellent as last year I achieved 12 GCSEs and I'm currently studying the following A levels: English Literature, History and Philosophy&Ethics at the City of London Academy(CoLA).

I've been featured in 2 articles about me and my teams success during the prestigious International Youth Tournament Dana Cup in Denmark, this is evident in my video featured in my profile.

It would give me great pleasure to play and study in the USA and I believe I could really make a difference to the right team and also improve myself as a young aspiring student-athlete.
