Success Story 2021
Jayden Smileski
The UOW Tottenham Hotspur Global Football Programme would like to congratulate Jayden Smileski, a participant in our elite player development programme, delivered in partnership with the University of Wollongong. Jayden has been successful in receiving a scholarship to Saint Mary’s College of California to continue his development as a player.
The elite player development programme is designed to provide players with the unique opportunity to study for a university qualification, whilst enhancing your development as an aspiring footballer in a professional environment. Whilst studying at UOW and in addition to the Global Football Programme training schedule, Jayden represented local NPL teams; Wollongong Wolves, South Coast Flames and was fortunate enough to represent UOW at the FISU University World Cup, where Jayden came 2nd in the world. We wish Jayden the best of luck in the next stage of his player development pathway.
I WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE ALL ASPECTS OF MY GAME WHICH WOULD HOPEFULLY HELP ME CONTINUE TO PURSUE A CAREER IN FOOTBALL. THROUGH THIS PROGRAMME I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ONE STEP CLOSER TO ACHIEVING THIS GOAL.
