Preston North End have announced details of a new scheme designed to ensure that the club has the best possible chance of spotting talented young players at the earliest opportunity.The initiative, based in the Isle of Man, was intended to firstly get more youngsters playing the game with expert tuition, but also to provide a fast-track into professional football for players with exceptional talent.
North End's Youth Development Officer Darren Finch oversaw the project, and was in no doubt that the project will aid football in the Isle of Man and benefit Preston North End:
“It's great for us from both a community and a development point of view that the Isle of Man FA were happy to accept our proposal to go out there.

“It allows us to spread our wings further and keep an eye on players that effectively don't have a local professional club,” explained Finch.
Finch underlined his enthusiasm for the scheme, as well as reiterating that the long-term focus is on player development for the future:
“I'm looking forward to getting started on the next stage with the development squads where we can start to see some of the best talent develop.”
