Representing England Colleges National Team

“I chose Gateshead College because I wanted to further my education while still playing football. I got to train at great facilities and work with amazing people. Coming to college provided me with an opportunity to play in America and I believe this helped me become more experienced as a player and helped me to get selected for the England senior squad.”
– Demi Stokes – Manchester City and England.
