Secure Your Future and Retire A Millionaire

Taking Footballers From Pitch To Prosperity With Done-For-You Property Investment & Management Services

Life After Football Can Be Tough

As a pro football player, you’ve got all the perks of the job – a great income, a luxury lifestyle and the freedom to travel and do whatever you want…not to mention the glory of the game.

However, unlike most people, you don’t retire at 65. Instead, you’ve got 8-10 years at BEST before you’re done with football.

Without a solid plan in place to help you manage your wealth, you can easily fall into debt and financial distress.

Worse, unless you can figure out how to make your money work for you, you may have to downgrade your home and lifestyle and settle for a job you hate just to make ends meet.

Securing your financial future shouldn’t be so hard!

The good news is property investing is one of the best ways to secure your future and ensure you retire a millionaire.

It’s the perfect ‘invisible’ income stream that lets you build wealth for your future while protecting you and your family from financial distress.

We work with footballers just like you to...

Retire wealthy with true financial security

Have peace of mind for the future

Build a nest egg for your family

Maintain your luxury lifestyle

Experience time and money freedom

Never worry about finances ever again

Why Property Investing?

Finding the perfect career after playing the field as a professional footballer can be really challenging and confusing.

When I retired at the age of 27 due to a knee injury, I didn’t have any additional skills I could fall back on.

My biggest worry was that I’d end up in a dead-end job, struggling to make ends meet and worse, having to downgrade my lifestyle substantially.

Sadly, it’s an all-too-common problem among football players who often end up in financial ruin and endless personal problems if they don’t have a career path they can confidently get into.

Property investing is one of the best ways to secure your income without having to sacrifice your lifestyle or end up in a job you hate.

Even better, with our complete, done-for-you service, you can focus on levelling up your game while we handle everything from start to finish.

This dream home did not come from luck. It is the result of over ten years of smart decisions in property.
It all started with one of my £1 letters chasing off-market deals. The opportunity did not fit our business, but my business partner saw the potential for his family. Years of experience, setbacks, and persistence led to this moment.
This is not about flashy moves. It is about using what you earn wisely so you can secure your future long after football ends.
Start with the right choices today. DM me to learn how to build a portfolio that gives you real freedom.

Wales international Kieffer Moore has just added another strong asset to his growing property portfolio. Another strategic move to prepare for the years beyond football.
This opportunity came through a trusted contact, and in an area where supply rarely meets demand, we had a short window to act. We moved quickly, secured the purchase, and added a high-performing property in a market we know well.
This is not just about buying houses. It is about protecting lifestyle, building income that continues long after football ends, and ensuring long-term control and choice.
Updates on the finished property coming soon. 
Follow my page for more property investing insights.
The game moves on quickly and it does not wait for anyone.
When I was forced to retire, I got a few messages, a few calls. But by the next match day, everything was back to normal. For everyone else, life carried on. That is the part no one tells you.
Your identity has been ‘the footballer’ for years. But one day, that title will no longer apply. The question is. Who will you be then?
You only get one shot. Build your legacy off the pitch. Own assets. Create a life you choose, not one you are forced into.
Be an athlete who controls assets.
DM me to join the waiting list.
If you are buying property to escape your job…you are in for a shock.

Property is not a shortcut. A few houses will not replace your income overnight. It is a long-term wealth strategy, not a quick solution. The early stages are slow and unglamorous. Maintenance, taxes, and voids are all part of the process.

But when you buy the right assets and hold them for 5 to 10 years, the rewards compound. Equity grows, cashflow strengthens, and your portfolio starts doing the heavy lifting for you.

We have helped players build over £3 million in net equity. Many within just a few years. Imagine what that looks like over a decade.

The winners do not chase hype. They stay consistent and let the strategy work. Start early. 

Own your future…before someone else does.
You may be one of the 0.1% who make it to the top. But don’t make the classic mistake of assuming it never ends…reality has a habit of bringing us all down to earth!l.
Bobby Reid has just completed another asset that will continue paying him long after his playing days.
While chasing the football dream, Bobby has been building a legacy that extends beyond the pitch. This latest property was sourced as part of a portfolio deal in a location we know extremely well. Despite the usual refurbishment challenges, it is now a high-quality asset that has broken the local rental ceiling and added strong value.
Football careers are short. Bobby is not waiting. He is taking control now by acquiring assets that generate income around the clock.
It is not passive income. It is asset income. That is how you build real freedom.
Build smart. Build early. Own your future.

This one’s been in the pipeline for a while… and like anything worth doing, it wasn’t straightforward.

Now fully complete. A set of high-quality buildings in prime locations, added to the portfolio. Part of our mission to acquire quality assets for ourselves and our ⚽️players. Building long-term legacies, brick by brick. 🤝

We stay focused on the areas we know inside out. Greater Manchester remains a powerhouse, and we’re doubling down on its fundamentals. Huge demand, exposure to it’s long-term growth, and downside protection. 📈

I don’t subscribe to the scattergun strategy of owning property all over the place. Remote asset management gets messy, especially at scale. Laser focus wins. Local knowledge triumphs.

This is about precision, not just ambition. Now it’s time to graft and compound our efforts. 🎯

Follow this journey as we continue to build legacies for our players, and for ourselves. 🤝 #LegacyBuilding #PropertyWithPurpose #AssetFocused
Building lasting wealth and legacy takes more than buying a few houses. You need two engines: a cashflow generator and an investment business.
Your cashflow generator funds your life today. If you are still playing football professionally, that part is covered. But your investment business is what builds long-term wealth. It is not meant to pay you today—it is meant to grow your capital, build equity, and create freedom while you sleep.
Smart players use today’s income to build tomorrow’s freedom. They acquire assets, use leverage, and let time do the heavy lifting.
If you are still playing, you have the cashflow. Now is the time to build your second engine.
Start early and by the time others are panicking, you will already be free.

Luke McNally has taken his first step towards becoming an athlete with assets. He is now turning today’s earnings into long-term freedom.

In ten years, this will be a foundational part of his financial independence. From earning once, he can benefit for life.
This is just the beginning. With this project complete, Luke is already moving on to the next.
It is not just about owning property—it is about owning your future.
