18 years is way too old for what's required.
U would have had a chance if u were a bit more younger like age 10-14 years.
There's no international experience to add to ur profile.
I am sorry, son. U cannot play professional football in England.
Maybe u should look elsewhere in Europe.

sorry for losing your dad and take heart that's life.
seriously at 18 you should be due graduating from university. Ok! I will say age is never a limit but its not on your side now! but let it not hinder you to persue your dream.
I' ll encourage you to try and get a sponsor or even try getting into EnyimbaFc where Europe can recognise you soon.

I'm 14 and I think I've got talent a s well, hey raphy its not too late agents still pick up people with no real experience but with talent, If you've really got whta it takes you can make it, but the main thing is being noticed, so try getting into better clubs, I don't know  |

All hope is not lost Ralph.
If you can play your way into a local team in our league, it could be a start for you. I know a couple of people based in Holland who are scouts for ado den haag.
They will be in Nigeria soon to scout for young talents.

Ohh God! WTF u talking about? Please don't get me started.How many people graduate at 21 talkless of 18. Please don't get on my nerves honestly. He's only 18 and you say age is not on his side???What sort of LAME encouragement is that *SIGHS* |

Radiant you were thinking exactly what i was thinking
As i had this thread all I could wonder was how do people graduate university at 18?
I know that it is possible, but this by far is not the norm
Usually that is the age that people begin there journey into post-secondary institutions, Right?

rapahel, u can play at practically any age between x and 20, but not in england, because in england u can't just get an agent unless ur parents are already there oru have a good job there, a couple of players palying in the under 17s world cup were in a hotel and there was tight security to make sure no agents got to them, i guess they are sick of too much african imports

mr dlock, I'm a girl but I can argue football with you.
For a starter, he doesn't have to go to England and besides to play in England, you have to have 75% of international (Nigerian national football) appearance before they even talk to you.
All the football heros of Nigeria, did they all start in England? Dlock abeg pipe low n get your facts right

My name is Gbenga Olokun.I am 17yrs old.I'm looking for football agent who can help me to get a team either here in Nigeria or in europe.I have tried my best with '' football college of excellence'',head by Clemence Westerhof.
I was chosen in state level but its got to over all ,my name was not listed on the student admitted into the school.
I bought the form N10,000 and the copy of the form is till with me with my picture on it and everything pertaining to that school.
I have a club in lagos state.The name of the cclub is ''salemco football culb''.We used to train in Abete in Iwaya-Yaba along Onike side,lagos state.
Also, i have club in kogi state.The name of the club is ''Infielder football club''.When i travelled to kogi state that is how i join the club because i love football very well and any
where i go i try to find myself in one culb to continue playing active football.so that is why, when i travelled to lagos state i also join a club there to continue playing football.
I know that God has a plan for me.And i don't loss hope in playing football.
