Fulfill Your Potential: Join Soccer and Study UK.
We are the only UK-based company specialising exclusively in
recruiting overseas female student athletes to study and play soccer in the UK.
The UK is currently one of the most exciting places to be involved in women's soccer.
We've watched the women's game continue to thrive at every level providing new opportunities for female soccer players of all abilities.
Soccer and Study UK (S&SUK) was created by a group of talented and skilled people with a wealth of experience in soccer recruitment. The team is led by Jon Maloney who has a wide experience of playing University soccer in the USA, leading the line for 4 years at the University of Montevallo.
S&SUK specialises in the recruitment of overseas female soccer students who are keen to study for a degree (undergraduate or postgraduate) at a prestigious UK University, while developing their soccer skills in a professional and challenging soccer environment.
S&SUK focuses on providing a positive life changing experience for all our participating student athletes. We work closely with Leeds Beckett University, which offers an outstanding range of academic courses and exceptional sports facilities all within a safe, inspiring and welcoming city.
The City of Leeds is home to a Premiership football team as well as other key sports teams, and is one of the major cities within Yorkshire, a county steeped in history and the gateway to the world renowned Yorkshire Dales.
The process is simple.
A fixed annual fee, payable to S&SUK covers all academic, accommodation and soccer costs. Our aim is to provide total peace of mind from initial enquiry through to graduation.
"The S&SUK team are here to guide our student athletes through the process from start to finish, while delivering outstanding customer service and
providing total peace of mind to parents."
