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...

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.

Another player taking control of life after football. This one’s for Matty James.
When a sale fell through on a tired 3-bed semi in Manchester, we moved quickly. 3-bed semis are the foundation of long-term growth, and after a smart refurb, this property is now fully tenanted, producing solid income and strong equity.
It’s another step in Matty’s plan to secure financial freedom beyond the pitch, turning today’s earnings into tomorrow’s independence.
Every player gets a choice: spend it all now or build something that lasts. Matty’s made his choice.

Players often ask, “What if the market crashes?” The truth is, markets rise and fall…they always have and always will. Your job is not to predict every move, but to position yourself wisely.
Smart players focus on fundamentals: buying in strong areas, using leverage strategically, fixing debt so inflation works in their favour, and managing assets so the income supports the portfolio. The biggest losses come from chasing hype or stretching too far.
Downturns never last forever. Six to eighteen months of pressure, then recovery. Those who stay in the game come out stronger.
Property isn’t about timing the market. It’s about being intelligently placed combined with time in the market.

This deal started like any other. A tired building, a creative lease option, and a plan to convert it into five flats. But planning took 18 months, costs rose, and by the time approval came through, the numbers didn’t stack up.
We tried a private sale with no luck, so we pivoted and sent it to auction. What happened next? Eighty-five bids later, it sold for £270,000 generating an £85,000 profit.
It was a turning point. This project taught us that experience and creativity matter, but adaptability and timing make the real difference.
Now, auctions are a core part of our strategy. A smarter way to stay agile in a changing market.

No one prepares you for the silence that follows when your contract ends. For years, your life has had purpose…training, matches, structure. Then one day, it all stops. And what you lose is not just the game, but the sense of direction that came with it.
When I retired, I felt that emptiness. The absence of purpose hit harder than any injury. That is why building assets matters. Not for the bricks and mortar, but for the freedom they create. Freedom to choose your next chapter without financial stress.
Start early. Build stability. Create space for your next purpose.

This was the worst property deal we ever did. A six bed semi bought for £225,000 and sold for £405,000 …yet we made v little profit, essentially just covering our costs.
Delays, rising costs, and a frozen mortgage market meant we missed every target. To make matters worse, the neighbours turned their house into a 10-bed HMO, damaging our property in the process and causing over a year of legal setbacks.
But through it all, we protected our investor. They received every penny of their capital and interest and even reinvested with us straight after.
Not every deal is a win. Real credibility comes from how you handle the ones that go wrong.

Most players spend everything they earn. Bobby Reid chose differently.
While still playing, he wanted to create income and security for life after football. We sourced a probate three-bed semi in Manchester — a strong area for capital growth. After a failed sale, we moved quickly, secured the deal, and handled the entire refurbishment.
Now, the property is tenanted, cash flowing, and holding strong equity — a real asset that will keep performing long after football.
This is not about property for the sake of it. It is about freedom, security, and choice.

Passive income is a myth. Asset income is what truly builds wealth.
Owning property is not easy. It takes work, focus, and resilience. There will always be invoices, repairs, and problems to solve. But if you stay consistent and buy the right assets, they will grow far beyond the short-term effort they demand.
Equity compounds. Wealth builds quietly. And the result is long-term income and financial freedom that lasts long after football stops paying you.
It is not passive. It is purposeful. That is the difference between chasing money and building legacy.
