The Emerging Talent Programme (ETP) graduate, Jaydan Kamason, has become the first Sierra Leonean to sign a professional contract with Manchester United.
He is also the first player from the scheme to sign a professional contract with Manchester United.
Jaydan joined the ETP at the age of 10, whilst playing for local grassroots team Stockport Vikings. After spending a period developing in the ETP, working with bespoke coaching and delivery staff, Jaydan transitioned to the main Academy group where he has spent the last six years.
While the Academy does not normally announce a player’s first professional contract, an exception has been made in this case to celebrate the success of the ETP in creating opportunities for children across Greater Manchester to develop their talent.
Kamason was born to Sierra Leonean parents and he is the first Sierra Leonean to sign a professional contract with Manchester United.
