Participants at Foundation 92’s Premier League Kicks session at Albert Park were treated to a special surprise this week, as Salford City FC’s Ryan Graydon and Zach Awe dropped in to meet the young people taking part.
The first-team duo spent time chatting with participants, signing shirts and posing for photos, creating a memorable evening for everyone involved.
Foundation 92’s Premier League Kicks sessions provide free, structured football opportunities for young people in the local community, offering a safe and positive environment to play, socialise and develop both on and off the pitch. Visits from professional players help inspire participants and reinforce the positive pathways available through sport.
Ryan and Zach took time to speak with the group about their journeys in football, answering questions and encouraging the young people to stay committed to their goals. The visit added an extra boost of energy to the session, with smiles all round as participants had the chance to meet the players up close.
Moments like this highlight the strong connection between Salford City FC and Foundation 92, working together to use the power of football to engage and inspire communities across Salford.
A huge thank you to Ryan and Zach for coming down and making the evening so special for our Premier League Kicks participants.
