Every young footballer dreams of turning their passion into a professional career. But talent alone isn’t enough — you need the right exposure, the right video, and the right people seeing it. At PlayBridge Agency, we help players from all over the world get discovered by clubs through trials, scouting, and targeted exposure.

Here’s how to take the first steps:

1. Prepare a High-Quality Highlight Video

Your video is your ticket to getting noticed. It should:

Be 3–5 minutes long
Start with your name, position, age, and country
Show clear, sharp footage from actual matches or training
Focus on your strengths: speed, vision, passing, tackling, goals

👉 Pro Tip: Avoid music or unnecessary effects. Let your game speak.

2. Know Your Best Position

Don’t say “I play everywhere.” Be specific about:

Your main position (e.g., left winger, center back)
Your secondary role (if any)
Whether you’re left-footed or right-footed

This helps scouts know where to visualize you in their squad.

3. Create a Basic Football CV

Include the essentials:

Name, birthdate, nationality
Height, weight, dominant foot
Previous clubs, years played, competitions
Languages spoken and contact info

You can submit this as a PDF or even write it directly in the message box of our form.

4. Submit to Trusted Football Agencies

Not all agencies are created equal. At PlayBridge Agency, we review every submission ourselves — no bots, no spam. We evaluate your video and, if you’re a match for one of our club partners, we’ll reach out directly.

5. Stay Patient, Stay Ready

Even if you don’t get selected immediately, keep training and updating your footage. The more you improve, the better your chances when the right opportunity comes.
