The New Saints FC are delighted to announce Sixteen93 Sport Management as its exclusive US scholarship partner for its U19s for the next three seasons.
As a result of the agreement, Sixteen93’s branding will feature on the back of the U19s’ shirt for all matches throughout the campaign, marking the latest step in a growing relationship between the two organisations built around player development and pathways into US college soccer.
Sixteen93 Sport Management specialises in guiding student-athletes to scholarship placements in the United States, supporting both undergraduates and post-graduate/transfer players through every stage of the recruitment process.
The agency combines honest, tailored advice with hands-on support around marketing, coach contact, university applications and eligibility, physical preparation, and pastoral care once players are studying and competing in the US.
The partnership builds on work already underway between the two organisations, with Sixteen93 currently supporting a number of the club’s academy players, including Fin Dixon, Oliver Cameron, Noah Lock, George Jenkins and Gethin Parry, as they prepare for the next stage of their academic and footballing careers.
Kristian Moore-Cowell, Director of Sixteen93 Sport Management, said:
“We're incredibly excited to become the Official and Exclusive US Scholarship Partner of The New Saints FC. Over the last few years, TNS has built an outstanding reputation for developing talented footballers, and their track record of producing players who have gone on to enjoy successful careers in US college soccer speaks for itself. Their commitment to developing players both on and off the pitch, as well as guiding them with their future careers, aligns perfectly with our values here at Sixteen93.
“We're currently working with a fantastic group of current TNS academy players as they prepare for the next step in their academic and footballing journeys, and it's been a pleasure to see the quality, professionalism and ambition they bring. We look forward to helping many more TNS players follow the same pathway in the years ahead, creating life-changing opportunities to earn a degree while continuing to play football at a high level in the United States. We're proud to be part of that journey and excited about what we can achieve together.”
Simon O'Reilly, Commercial Manager at The New Saints FC, added:
“We're delighted to welcome Sixteen93 Sport Management on board as our Exclusive US Scholarship Partner for our U19s. This partnership reflects the strong relationship we've built with Sixteen93 over recent years, and their support for our academy players as they look towards opportunities in US college soccer has already made a real difference to many of our young athletes.
“Sixteen93 share our commitment to developing players both as footballers and as individuals, and having their branding on our U19s shirts is a fitting way to recognise that partnership. We look forward to continuing to work closely with them to help our players achieve their ambitions, both on the pitch and in their future careers.”
The club look forward to welcoming Sixteen93 Sport Management to Park Hall Stadium on Saturday, November 28th, when they host one of their regular showcase days, giving UK players exposure to US college soccer scholarships.
