WEST VANCOUVER LAD GETS PROFESSIONAL TRIAL WITH BLACKBURN ROVERS

FC Victoria Technical Director, Dave Dew announced today that West Vancouver native, Michael Nonni, commenced a one week trial with Blackburn Rovers of the English Premier League earlier this week. He is currently training with the reserve team and will see playing time this Friday versus Manchester United Reserves.

"We secured a tryout for Michael after he was released by FC Groningen earlier this month", commented Dew. "We connected with Mike Rigg, the head scout for Blackburn. He immediately placed Nonni on a week long trial, based on our recommendation".

FC Victoria's Academy programs have evolved over the past five years with the roll out of a Professional Trials Program. Relationships established with UK based professional organizations are creating opportunities for eligible Canadian youths to realize their soccer dreams. "We have established a professional pathway for players who might not otherwise get the opportunity to pursue their soccer dreams", noted Marv Diercks, President of FC Victoria.
