Watford's U16 Football Stars Sponsored By Highwood

Highwood are pleased to sponsor Watford Football Club's U16 Academy for the second year running. The Watford Academy is unique in England as the footballers combine their studies and coaching at The Harefield Academy.

Highwood director, Michael Gould, comments "We are impressed by the commitment of the Academy's young players and we recognise that the Academy produces talented footballers capable of playing at the highest level."

John Stephenson, Watford FC's Head of Football Business and Development said: "We’re extremely pleased to have sponsorship for this age-group from Highwood, a local company supporting their local football club.

"As a club we’re looking to continue our blossoming relationship with The Harefield Academy and believe that, in time, we’ll hopefully see further students progress towards the first-team.

John Helfgott, fellow director at Highwood, adds "We are delighted to be supporting the Academy players in a variety of ways, including promoting the importance of financial awareness, as well as highlighting to these football stars of the future that it's never too early to start financial planning."
