Laxey FC’s Tom Cowley has been offered a professional two-year scholarship with League Two club Morecambe FC.
The 16-year-old junior island international will make the move in June following in the foot-steps of Peel’s Rowan Richardson, Corinthians’ Alice Ashe and Castletown’s Danny Hattersley who are currently on the books at Blackpool, Chelsea and Southport respectively.
Cowley has worked tirelessly over the past three seasons to progress into the professional game having had trial periods at Rangers FC, Leeds United, Norwich City and Tranmere Rovers.
Tom would like to extend a special thanks to his coaches at Laxey FC, the Isle of Man FA’s Centre of Excellence, the IoM Institute of Sport and St Ninian’s High School.
