We hope you've all had a lovely 2 week break and are raring to get back to the School Run routine as of tomorrow. This is the April edition of our In the Spotlight, and this month we meet one of our younger members, Joseph "Joe" Hare.

13. What advice would you give to someone new wanting to join us? ~ I would say Yes, come and join us. If you are a bit scared, you can just come for a little bit and see if you like it
Joe's Mum says: I was a bit apprehensive about whether Joseph would actually enjoy football. He doesn't come from a sporting background, but he seemed so keen, we had nothing to lose. It was one of the best decisions I've made. Joe has barely missed any sessions, and even took part in all 3 days of the summer camp! He loves the academy, the friends he's made and even our Coach. It's definitely the highlight of his week
Thanks Joe for taking part in our feature. We hope you continue to develop and become the next Mr Harry Kane!
