Roraigh Achieves Scholarship at Watford FC
We were delighted with our Year 11 student, Roraigh Browne, who was awarded a scholarship at Watford Academy.
Roraigh is a keen sportsman and has been playing football for the past 5 years, namely in goal. He was scouted in a Saturday league game in the end of the season in Year 8. He then underwent a four week trial, which usually lasts 8 weeks but due to the interest he had generated from top clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, Watford were keen to sign him up quickly!
Roraigh is a testament to his peers, training extensively four days a week at two hours at a time and playing matches on the weekend.
On the 13th of December Roraigh was ecstatic to have been offered a two year scholarship for Watford as well as 10 other boys at the club. The scholarship will mean he is able to study for his A-levels with private tutors as well as playing football four days a week.
Congratulations Roraigh, we really look forward to hearing more on your successes in the future!
