“I hope this letter finds you well. As Team Manager of the Brickhill Wanderers Football Club in Bedford from 2022-2024, I’m writing my strongest recommendations of one of my outstanding footballers who played in my U15 and U16 teams. It was a pleasure to manage and coach Alexandre Silva across these 2 years. As my goalkeeper he demonstrated exceptional loyalty and dedication to the sport of football. He was a key component in our team which lead to us winning the Sunday Chiltern County League Division 3 League title as well as the League Cup trophy in the season of 2022-2023 season. Thought out his time as a Brickhill Wanderers footballer Alexandre exhibited fantastic sportsmanship and brilliant leadership qualities in training and in matches. I have no doubt that Alexandre will continue to excel in the game of football as a goalkeeper and is capable of thriving in any opportunities that may be available to him to showcase his talents.”
“Alex has been at our academy for 1 year and now entering his 2nd year. I have found Alex very positive in classroom and also in football training. ”
