[h=3]We are pleased to announce that Levent Gundogan of The Nomads U14 Academy team has been signed by Manchester United.[/h]Levent joined the Nomads Academy just over two years ago and has been an ever present in the side and set up of the football club.
A very gifted player, who is comfortable up front or in attacking midfield. His attitude and commitment to training and the club have been first class and we wish him all the best during his time at Manchester United.
Levent is a great example of the pathway for players within the FAW Academy system, and the opportunities that are available to move to a higher level.
Levent was selected for North Wales development squad this season, which leads into the Wales under 16 National team.
After being selected from a Nomads Academy game Levent performed well with North Wales squad and was selected for a friendly game for the side away at Manchester United at the start of 2017.
He performed well in the game which saw him score four goals in a four all friendly, away at Carrington. From this he was awarded a six week trial, for which he has been successful and signed a full time contract with Manchester United Academy last week.
Special mention goes to coaches Iain Bennett and Anthony Weaver who have worked specifically with Levent over the last two years as well as Danny Mapp Jones last season.
All were pivotal in changing Levents role to a forward from midfield which has reaped rewards now for the player.
A huge well done again to Levent, from all at gap Connah's Quay Nomads Football Club.
Levent becomes the 29th Academy Player to be signed by a professional club in the last seven years. A statistic which is unbeaten at present by any other academy in Wales.
