Young east soccer star wants brighter future for youngsters
Molefe gained valuable experience playing against professional outfits such as Newcastle United FC, Fulham FC, Barnsley FC, Watford FC, Luton Town FC and Chesterfield FC.
Pretoria-born soccer player Emang Molefe is eager to pass his football knowledge to the younger generation after playing his trade in England.
Molefe’s ambition and desire saw him move to Europe seven years ago, to play in England and Spain.
“I spent six years in the UK in football academies and attending trials with various teams including Hemel and Kendal Town. Early last year, I found myself back home and unable to return to Europe to further my footballing career. I did train with a few local teams and during that time, I saw how much behind our standard of football is,” Molefe said.
“Having acquired so much football education, thanks to ProcampsUK, I felt the need to give back,” he said.
Molefe (27) gained valuable experience playing against professional outfits such as Newcastle United FC, Fulham FC, Barnsley FC, Watford FC, Luton Town FC and Chesterfield FC.
“I have formed a partnership with Fulham FC through a football academy I used to play for in 2015 called ProcampsUK. We are running a five-day football programme here in Pretoria in June, and want all aspiring footballers to have a chance at furthering their dreams by attending,” he said.
As a student of the game, Molefe also enjoyed a short time in Alicante, Spain playing with Club Foietes.
“Working with ProcampsUK gives me an opportunity to further my football education and filter that knowledge down to the vast array of young talent that is waiting to be unearthed within South African camps.”
He was recently offered trials with la Liga Segunda side AD Alcorcon before the 2nd wave of Covid hit.
In a statement, Premier League side Fulham said they were excited to be part of the camp in Pretoria.
“Our programmes are designed to educate and entertain the younger age groups whilst testing and expanding the knowledge base of more advanced players,” the club said.
