Appointing a football intermediary/Agent is a massive decision that you cannot take lightly. There are so many horror stories and it is important to make a considered choice. As a family, we were in exactly that position but after one conversation with Patrick, we knew that VMP was for us. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we have made and we don't consider Pat and Gary as agents but more like friends. There is a huge emphasis on trust which is required from all parties but this creates a really good relationship in a business where that is not always the case. We interact with parents and players within the agency and we all get a "buzz" from the success of others in the VMP family.I cannot praise VMP highly enough and the communication from Pat and Gary is first class and we are always kept informed in decisions every step of the way.

Why get an agent? Why choose VMP? When my son joined an academy after playing for Bristol Inner City, getting an agent was something we knew nothing about or thought of. It's when your son reaches pivotal moments of offers of scholarships, that you feel vulnerable. You suddenly need advice, a mentor, knowledge, connections, and someone on your side to navigate a very difficult period. VMP stepped in and offered solutions to all of the above and more (transparency, honesty, action, pathways, not empty promises). Patrick and the team have built a great relationship with our son and ourselves and a place of 'trust'. Matt has now made an excellent transition from Bristol City to Plymouth Argyle and found an excellent club and realised his true potential, thanks to VMP.

Patrick and the VMP team have supported me enabling me to secure a scholarship with my present club. They are always on hand with help and advice. I feel Patrick knows each of his players extremely well and understands their individual needs.

“I spoke to quite a few agencies to see what was best for me on and off the pitch and it was clear that VMP had mine and my family’s best interests at heart. Thanks to VMP, I can concentrate on my game as all other aspects are taken care of.
