We’re thrilled to share that Jacob has been successful in his trial and will now be playing for his District Team, training at Eagles Nest in Chelmsford!
This also means he’ll be reviewed for potential selection for the Essex Team, what an incredible opportunity and a testament to all his hard work and dedication.
Well done Jacob!
