Welcome to Soccer Innovation 

Thanks for visiting Soccer Innovation. 

At Soccer Innovation we believe that it's important that aspiring footballers are given the knowledge on all aspects of football, from technical coaching to game awareness to future plans. Soccer Innovation is a concept established by former professional footballer Ricky Gillies, preparing the next generation of footballers.

Soccer Innovation is a football (soccer) specific scholarship placement service. We assist aspiring student-athletes through the process of securing a prestigious Soccer Scholarship in the USA. Our team guide them through every step of the application process and provide our recommendation to our colleagues at respected universities across the USA. Student-Athletes will then be supported fully by the Soccer Innovation team throughout their scholarship experience and beyond. We believe this will give all our candidates the best chance to combine both football (soccer) and education.

Soccer Innovation has developed under Ricky Gillies and Barry Hume, both professional athletes with years of experience. We believe that it's important that aspiring footballers/student-athletes are guided through the complex process, by people who have that vital practical experience in the US college system.

Soccer Innovation will give a real insight into what it takes to make it as a professional player and who better to do this than those who have played at the highest level.

We hope you enjoy looking through our website.

Kindest Regards

Ricky Gillies
