Another week, another top talent through the Joe Cardle Academy doors.
Jack Allan joined Joe this afternoon as he continues his off-season work in preparation for another successful campaign with Celtic Under-17s. Last season, Jack enjoyed an excellent year, earning regular game time, helping his side keep numerous clean sheets, and even scoring an impressive 16 goals from a defensive position — highlighting both his attacking threat and all-round quality.
Today’s session focused on the fundamentals of moving the ball quickly, improving reaction speed, and developing his ability to feed midfielders and strikers with accurate long-range passing.
We were incredibly impressed with Jack’s quality, attitude, and application throughout the session, and we look forward to working with him more as he prepares for another big season ahead.
Great work, Jack — exciting times ahead! ⚽️🙌🏼
