David Howells this week joined our Global Coaching team in Guangzhou, China, for the latest part of our ongoing grassroots football work in partnership with Jaguar Land Rover and the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation.
The 1991 FA Cup winner has been working alongside lead coach Ose Aibangee and the Guangzhou Education Bureau in delivering a week-long workshop to PE teachers in the province.
David and Ose have been sharing the Club’s philosophy on how it develops young players within its Academy – which has produced the likes of Harry Kane, Harry Winks and Josh Onomah in recent years.
This will then be put into practice by the PE teachers for hundreds of underprivileged children in Guangzhou identified by the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation, one of the country’s largest youth charities.
