Three young members of the Justin Haber Academy (JHA) have just returned from a one-week football experience at the Sunderland AFC Academy of Light.

Brooklyn Borg, Nathan Cope and Jake Vassallo, who were accompanied by Michael Farrugia, the head coach of the JHA, spent six days training with the Sunderland boys.

The trial was made possible through an agreement between Sunderland AFC and the JHA.

In a statement, the Justin Haber Academy pledged to keep supporting its young players to gain the best experiences possible as well as helping to send as many talented Maltese players to the Sunderland AFC Academy as possible in future.

Over 25 boys and girls have benefited from the partnership between the JHA and Sunderland AFC with Leo Agius alone making no fewer than eight visits to the The Academy of Light.
