“I am delighted to provide a reference for Cohen Slater, with whom I had the pleasure of working for two and a half years. During this period, Cohen played an integral role in our squad, contributing significantly to our success as we won a national Under-19s championship, an achievement made even more impressive by Cohen performing as a second-year player. Cohen brings exceptional character to any dressing room. He is a natural leader calm, mature, and consistently supportive of those around him. His presence elevates team morale, and he carries himself with professionalism well beyond his years. As a footballer, Cohen is versatile, reliable, and tactically intelligent. He can be trusted to perform across multiple positions, particularly across midfield and at left-back. His playing style is defined by hard work and tenacity, complemented by his ability to spot and execute line-breaking passes. He also contributes with goals, often arriving in advanced areas through well timed and intelligent forward runs. In key moments, both defensively and offensively, Cohen is a player I have always been able to trust. His willingness to learn, adapt, and take on information is outstanding, and coaching him has been a genuine pleasure. He consistently demonstrates a strong desire to develop, coupled with full trust in his coaching staff—qualities that set him apart. Cohen would be an asset to any club. His talent, attitude, and leadership give me complete confidence that he has a very successful future ahead of him, and I look forward to following his journey.”
“I am pleased to provide this reference for Cohen Slater, whom I had the privilege of coaching during his time at the Pro:Direct Academy Northampton college education programme. Over the course of the year I worked with Cohen, he consistently demonstrated the qualities, commitment, and professionalism expected of a player striving for the next level of his football journey. Cohen possesses an elite, academy-level left foot, which was a defining asset within our squad. His technical quality allowed him to be a constant attacking threat, while his delivery and ball-striking ability regularly helped the team in key moments. Beyond his technical strengths, Cohen showed outstanding leadership qualities, both vocally and through his actions. He was a reliable presence, someone teammates naturally looked to, and he embraced responsibility on and off the pitch. Out of possession, Cohen displayed a real tenacity and willingness to compete. His ability to duel, win the ball back, and apply effective pressure made him a crucial part of our defensive structure. He consistently demonstrated maturity in his decision-making, an excellent work rate, and a genuine desire to improve every day. Cohen’s attitude, talent, and commitment make him an excellent candidate for an American soccer scholarship. I am confident he will be a positive influence in any team environment and will continue to develop both as an athlete and as an individual. ”
