As parents,
We are reaching out to our community, friends and family to help support our 14 year old son Jack Sowter, who has been selected to represent his family, Global Football Network UK and Australian Footballers (soccer) to join an elite U15's/U16's touring squad from Australia to play against some of the best Pro-Club-Academies in England that place highly on the world stage and be trained by a Pro-Club in September this year 2025.
Over there Jack has a further chance to showcase his talent in front of English Premier League Scouts with an opportunity to be offered a direct trial with a Pro-Club in the UK.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
In April this year, Jack travelled 4.5 hours to Sydney to attend a two day trial showcase with Pro-Academy training, including games, where he had the opportunity to showcase his talent.
Based on Jack's performance he displayed at the showcase, showing his Football abilities, attitude, game awareness and technical level, he was selected by EPL Scouts, Coaches and Football Director out of 500+ kid's, over four states from Adelaide to Melbourne, Sydney to Brisbane and given an Amazing opportunity to join their elite touring squad of "16"
This achievement is not only a testament to his dedication to his sport but the incredible talent and sportsmanship that he shows day in and day out.
This all started Ten years ago, at just the age of four when Jack started playing soccer and has been unstoppable ever since.
Jack is the youngest of three, from the rural mountain village of Mooral Creek in NSW, who grew up in the shadow's of his older brother and sister, who still play the game, and if he wasn't training with his team, he would be training with them, learning from the older kid's.
Currently playing above his age for the U16s Taree Wildcats, the U15s school team that he is Captain of and also for the school's Opens team. Travelling an hour to play in his local games and up two hour's for his away games every week and he never misses a game!
Jack's Grandfather, who was his biggest fan and followed him everywhere in soccer, never missing a game regardless of where they played, but sadly passed away due to Covid. He loved soccer and loved watching his three Grandchildren play. He would be so Proud of Jack to see how far he has reached and would have helped him to make his dream a reality.
We can still see his shadow on the sidelines of every game watching over him.
Jack's Dad, who's a disabled pensioner due to severe and debilitating injuries after a horror accident in a sawmill, seeing his back/spine slowly become degenerative with some day's a struggle to walk and other day's manageable through a world of pain...but he never misses a game.
As parents we are doing absolutely everything we can to see Jack reach his highest potential and to achieve his biggest dreams.
Opportunities like this don't come around often and come with a hefty price tag, this is where we need your help.
So with the most humble of heart's and with no expectations we are asking our community however wide it may reach to please help us in sending Jack to the UK.
We are so appreciative for every bit of support, whether it be a donation or by sharing this - Go-Fund-Me so we can have the best possible chance of getting Jack to England.
This is more that just a trip to Jack.
This will take his game to the next level.
Please help Jack Sowter take his next step towards his dream of a future in playing professionally for the sport he loves.
Thankyou so much for your support! ❤️
