THE search is on to unearth footballing talent in Bicester.

Oxfordshire Junior Foxes, in association with Leicester City Academy Recruitment, are running a new development centre on Monday evenings for boys aged six to 12.

The centre, based at Bicester Sports Association, Green Lane, Chesterton, could offer a route into a top class professional academy, according to coach Declan McGovern.

He said: “I think there’s a lot of talent in Oxfordshire and so many talented players tend to go unnoticed by the clubs that are already operating here.

“Bicester is an untapped area. Ultimately, our goal is to make sure that every kid leaves us having learned something”
