Talent identification, evaluation, and the systems behind long-term success.

01 · Scouting

Current role

Technical International Scout (USA), West Bromwich Albion

Scouting the American market — identifying and evaluating talent, mapping development pathways, and feeding the data and process systems that support recruitment decisions.

Reports are built the same way the research is: live observation first, video second, data for context — and a verdict someone can act on. Club-specific methodology stays with the club.
