Fiat Professional, official partner of The Football League, have launched the Fiat Professional Tradesman Trials, a nationwide search to find a current tradesman who has the talent to make it as a professional footballer in The Football League.

There is a long list of past and present players starting out as tradesmen, including current Southampton striker and ex-Queens Park Rangers star Charlie Austin, who was a builder, and former Wigan Athletic, Fulham and Hull City midfielder Jimmy Bullard, who worked for his father’s painting and decorating company.

Tradesmen who think they’ve got what it takes to win the one-month trial at a Football League club, with Huddersfield Town one of the choices, have until June 12 to showcase their skills by submitting videos of their footballing talent to Tradesmantrials.co.uk.

The best entries will then be invited to attend an exclusive Tradesman Trials day, in association with The Football League, that will take place by the end of June, where they will be put through their paces in front of a selection of scouts and Fiat Professional’s football ambassadors.
