player success stories

Jake has been with us for three years, consistently attending two group sessions a week along with regular 1-to-1s. His dedication and hard work have led to outstanding development. After impressing in our JPL squad during the 2025–2026 season, he has deservedly earned an incredible opportunity - joining West Ham.

​Maisie began her football career training closely with one of our coaches, Rob. Her hard work and determination paid off when she signed for Chelsea in 2024. Despite reaching academy and International level, Maisie continues to return to CBBJM for one-to-one sessions and pre-season sharpness.

Tom was one of the first players to join our academy, regularly attending group sessions and working closely in 1-to-1s with our lead coach, Charlie. After finishing school, Tom signed a scholarship with QPR and now trains with their U21 squad - a fantastic achievement and a testament to his hard work and commitment!

Hudson has been part of our academy for several years and has developed at an incredible pace. His commitment and work ethic have been outstanding, and we were all thrilled when he signed for Colchester last season. Hudson continues to take part in regular 1-to-1 sessions at the academy to enhance his development.

Jess started working with CBBJM in 2024, and it was clear from the start that she had the talent to play at academy level. Through relentless hard work and dedication, Jess signed for Chelsea for the 2025/2026 season. She’s already making an impact, representing their U18 squad - a fantastic achievement.

Matt is currently playing for Colchester U15, has spent the past few seasons taking part in regular 1-to-1 sessions and 2-to-1 sessions alongside his older brother, Tom. This commitment continues to support his development and his ambition of becoming a professional footballer.
