The boys are back after a few weeks break away from the microphones. This week, Jamie and Richard welcome Football Agent and Founder or Next Gen Sports and Entertainment Limited Reece Land onto the podcast.  Reece Land may not be a familiar face to the fans of football but he is to the people with inside football. Reece is one of the biggest agents in the world of Women's football. His company, 'Next Gen Sports' is the biggest agency in women's football! We get the inside scoop of the world of being one of the top football agents in the game.  There are a lot of myths and stigma around football agents and hopefully following this conversation with Reece Land, this will change a few opinions on what a football agent does and why they are important to the footballer.  Reece Land works with all the biggest stars, coaches and executives from the women's game. We hope you enjoy our conversation!  Twitter: @NextGen_Sports @ReeceLand @hittingAreasPod Instagram: @nxtgen_sport @_reeceland @hittingtheareaspodcast

This week the boys will be focusing on a football club rather than a role or job within football. Richard and Jamie speak with the CEO of Jersey Bulls Football Club, Ian Horswell.  Ian tells us all about the very short history of Jersey Bulls and how far they have come in such a short space of time. You will get to hear how and why the club was created, the ambitions of the football club and the logistics around playing in the Channel Islands in the English football pyramid.  This is such an interesting chat with a passionate CEO and volunteer which really is what makes non-league football so special. Jersey Bulls will also be playing some of their home games in the south of England (Three Bridges FC, Wycombe Wanderers and Ascot United) over the next few weeks while their home ground is redeveloped.
