Here at Marden we are massively proud of Year 9 student Josh Harrison, a talented footballer who has signed a two year contract with Newcastle United Academy.

Josh has been training with both Newcastle United and Sunderland in recent months and has recently played at St. Andrews (the home of Birmingham City), Elland Road (Leeds United) and the Stadium of Light (Sunderland).

Here he is pictured signing his contract with NUFC Academy Head of Recruitment Glenn Craggs. We wish him all the very best for what promises to be an exciting future ahead! Well done Josh.
