Tanaka - A Rising Star!

The academy is extremely proud of Tanaka’s achievements, as he continues on course to a career in professional football. Tanaka moved from Huddersfield Town to Blackburn Rovers FC last year, and has worked hard to develop his skills and knowledge of the game. Competing and travelling around the UK and Europe whilst studying GCSE’s is a grueling schedule, and Tanaka takes it all in his stride. The academy is supporting Tanaka in fulfilling his dream to become a professional footballer, allowing Tanaka to train with Blackburn Academy one day a week. All the staff wish Tanaka the very best for the future, and will continue to support him every day to achieve his dream.
