After confirming last week via our social channels and website, Academy skipper, Leyton Nethercot stared in the Pro:Direct Academy National side last week against Japanise opposition at St. George's Park.
When asked about the occasion pre-match, Nethercot said:
"It's a great opportunity for me, it's one that I'm grateful for and it's every lad's dream to play at special footballing places like this".
The Eastwood CFC Media Team also spoke to Academy Director & Coach, David Lilley before the head-to-head battle at St. George's Park, he had this to say:
"It's massive. It's huge for the Academy and massive for the Pro:Direct Nottingham site because it just shows the opportunities that our Academy are getting.
Obviously, there's today, we also took on Northern Ireland U18 last year and then we played on Man City's Etihad Stadium.
It's great for us".
