What to Put on Your Football Player Profile

Your profile is your football CV. Coaches often scan dozens of players in minutes, so clarity beats length. Focus on the details that help someone decide whether to contact you.

Must-have details

  • Primary and secondary positions
  • Current or most recent club and level (Step / league)
  • Location and how far you can travel
  • Preferred foot and age
  • A short bio stating what you want next

Helpful extras

  • Career history with recent seasons and appearances
  • Highlights or full-match clips
  • Achievements such as promotions, awards, or captaincy
  • Languages spoken if relevant to the squad

Keep it current

Update your profile after trials, transfers, or long lay-offs. Out-of-date profiles get ignored because recruiters cannot trust the information. A five-minute update after each season can make the difference between being shortlisted or overlooked. If you are returning after time away, getting back into football is often less about a perfect CV and more about making yourself available at the right level.
