Our team
Jimmy Hayes
Co-Director & Premier League Academy Scout
I’m a huge Liverpool FC fan, ProSoccerGlobal Co-Director and academy scout for a Premier League Academy.
I’ve been involved in football for 40+ years, as a youth team player, youth and district representative team coach, Premier League Academy scout, director of Galacticos Soccer Academy and co-director of ProSoccerGlobal.
My experience as a youth player, coach, Academy Director, scout and co-director of ProSoccerGlobal has allowed me to experience the beautiful game both on and off the field at a high level.
I’ve gathered a vast amount of knowledge and understanding of different facets of the game throughout my footballing journey and been fortunate enough to play, coach, and scout in various countries across the globe.
Working as a co-director for ProSoccerGlobal and an academy scout since 2015 has provided me the opportunity to see how elite youth development operates at top level clubs with different footballing philosophies and cultures.
I’m passionate about football and sharing my knowledge & expertise with the global football family to help grow the beautiful game.
Our ProSoccerGlobal motto is “With You On And Off The Field” and I’m immensely proud to be part of the ProSoccerGlobal team providing amazing footballing experiences.
Our Philosophy
To develop and provide opportunities and experiences that promote and embrace the values associated with the beautiful game.
To make our ProSoccerGlobal programs, services and events accessible to everyone and create inclusivity for all.
To deliver excellence both on and off the field and promote development within football, academics & life-skills.
To work collaboratively with associates and partners globally to create a pathway that supports achievement in football & education.
Chris Mcgrath
Co-Director & Licenced Football Intermediary
I'm a ProSoccerGlobal Co-Director and an intermediary (agent) licensed by the English Football Association.
In the last 12 years I have been involved in numerous transfers of academy age and senior players in the UK and Europe including youth and senior National Team players. As an Independent scout I have been consulted by both scouts and Sports Directors with a number of players subsequently being signed.
Throughout my time in these various roles I have developed a keen eye for spotting talented players at every level and age group.
My experiences in working with clubs all over Europe has developed my knowledge of different football cultures, levels and styles of play.
My time working with players has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of what it takes to really look after a player and work with them to help develop their career.
My involvement in numerous player transfers has given me a first-hand insight into the mechanics of negotiating transfers and players contracts.
I truly believe that football is so much more than just a game. My love for using it to bring people from all cultures and walks of life together is my motivation behind the ProSoccerGlobal idea.
SASHA SMICIKOVA
Tournament Coordinator and Talent ID specialist
My passion is football both on and off the field. Working as a Talent ID specialist for a football agency I was involved in identifying youth talent across Central Europe and in the UK. I spent a lot of time attending matches across various levels and assessing players. It’s a part of the game I really enjoyed and identifying players who are now playing professionally at a Premier League club, top league in Poland and Internationally for Slovakia is something I’m immensely proud of.
For the last 5yrs I’ve been working as the events director for ProSoccerGlobal in the UK and Europe. Utilising my network across Europe and my extensive experience in youth football I’ve designed and organised elite football tours for teams from across the globe. I’ve also been instrumental in facilitating and delivering our football tournaments in Europe and UK.
Football is a huge part of my life and It’s fantastic to be part of the ProSoccerGlobal team that is creating opportunities and experiences that support youth development both on and off the field.
