Case Study

Izzy's Story

Izzy started with the Girls PDC (Player Development Centre) programme at Northampton Town in 2024. She settled in quickly and developed into a dedicated and positive team player. In the summer of 2024, Izzy was recommended by her coach to attend trials for the ETC (Emerging Talent Centre) programme. We saw straight away she had tenacity and had the willingness learn and develop technically.  

After a successful trial Izzy was accepted into the ETC programme for the 24/25 season. She settled in with the group immediately and instantly made friends. You can tell whenever she is at the ETC it is her happy place and she loves it here. Her coaches, Toby and Harry have built a really good coach-player relationship with her where she is even willing to stay behind and help with equipment. Izzy has engaged well with the ETC practices and also attended the recent NTFC Community Trust Girls Football event at Goals Centre, where the player stated she won "Player Award from her Team".
