REILLY STEPHEN

ABOUT ME

Reilly has enjoyed playing football since he was a toddler and always had a preference for goal keeping. When he was 5 he said he was going to takeover at Bayern Munich when Neuer retires. 10 years on and the ambition I still the same with the dream and drive to play top flight football.

     Reilly started boys club football at 7 years old in February 2016 with Peterhead bc playing 4,5&7 a side. In June 2017 he was asked to join CBC Hilton playing 7&9 a side. October 2019 Peterhead bc got in contact asking him back before  going 11 a side as they felt he was the best goal keeper in the area. September 2022 he joined Deveronvale bc and had a successful 22/23 season reaching the 4th round in the Scottish cup and a final in the local age group cup. 23/24 season finished league winners and league cup champions conceding only 10 goals in all competitions. This is the first time in Deveron boys club history that a team has won a double in 1 season.

     Reilly has also had a successful time in sport at Mintlaw Academy being in the football team since 1st year winning the under 14s league and under 14s Aberdeenshire cup. He was picked for the under 15s Aberdeenshire selects which is a regional team made up of the best hand picked players of every high school in Aberdeenshire and is currently 1st choice keeper in the 4th-6th year seniors team. Outwith football he was the 2nd year sports day champion earning the highest points competing in sprints, long jump and high jump. He qualified for the regional high jump finals that year and also will be representing Mintlaw Academy in this years high jump competition.

      The ACA experience would be life changing offering the joint sporting and academic opportunities that simply aren’t available in the UK. This would be a huge milestone on the journey to making the dream of being a professional goal keeper become a reality
