Testimonials
Comprehensive Support for Football Players
"Russ from Beeston Sports has represented me for 7 years, and from the very beginning he has shown genuine commitment to me as both a footballer and a person. In my first year of signing with him, I broke my leg and Russ stayed with me for 2 hours until I got in the ambulance, which said a lot about the type of agent and person he is. Since then, through multiple club moves, he has consistently supported me and advised me honestly, while always respecting and backing the decisions I’ve made. I have had challenges along the way with my mental health being low, other injuries and confidence being knocked but throughout that time Russ has always been there for me and supported me that way as well. He has been a constant presence throughout my football career, building a strong relationship not only with me but also with my family, which has created trust and a strong bond between us all, Russel’s dedication, guidance, and genuine care have played a huge role in my journey, and I’m extremely grateful for his continued support."
"I have been represented by Russ at Beeston Sports for almost 2 years. Russ immediately made me feel more confident as a player. He believed in my abilities as a player and this helped me to believe in myself too. He’s constantly encouraging me to develop as a player to improve and play to the best of my abilities. He’s been a great support system throughout both successes and challenges I’ve faced. I have a lot of trust within Russ and he’s always respected me as a player and as a person. Over the years we’ve built a good working relationship and this has just made me want to push myself further within football. He always comes to games with a smiling face and his full backing and support of his players. It is always great to see him at the games. I’m extremely grateful to have Russ as an agent he’s helped me as a player and as a person"
"I have been with Russ and Beeston Sports for what will be 4 years by the end of this contract, and he has helped massively over this time. I joined as a 16-year-old lad who had just signed for Chesterfield as a Scholar and Russ helped me across the 2 years there, promoting me and showcasing what I was doing. This continued over the next 2 years with me progressing to Notts County on a 1-year contract and the introduction into non-league football which again he helped and pushed me in the right direction. Most recently I have signed my first team forms with Tamworth FC alongside being loaned with Whitchurch Alport. With the help of Beeston Sports and Andy Steele at Whitchurch this has seen a big leap for me. Leading to me making my professional debut for Tamworth and playing a pivotal role at Whitchurch Alport."
"I signed with Russ over a year ago, and it’s been one of the best footballing decisions I’ve made as he has given me the recognition that I needed by posting my development on social media giving the opportunity for people to see how well I’m doing. Russ also talks directly to clubs that might have an interest in you which helped me out because I was inexperienced in knowing which teams to choose from and Russ made sure he gave his opinions and always pointed me into the right direction. Russ is also a top bloke he’s so nice and welcoming and he comes to as many games as he possibly can to support me, so I get to speak in person with him a lot which is also very nice. I think being with Beetson sports and having Russ as my agent has really helped my football career grow and I’m so thankful for him."
"I have been represented by Russ at Beeston Sports for the past five years. Throughout this period, he has consistently provided exceptional support, guidance, and belief in me. He has supported me through both with the challenges and successes of football and has continually encouraged me to develop and improve. Russ has also played a key role in supporting my involvement in international football, offering valuable guidance and assistance throughout that process. He is extremely dedicated to his clients, always making time for each individual and offering unwavering support. His guidance has contributed significantly to my development, not only as a footballer but also as a person."
"Russ has been to watch me play regularly, first for 1874 Northwich u21s, then their first team and more recently for my current club Hanley Town. He’s supported and encouraged me since I came into senior football at 16. And he’s regularly promoted my achievements, helping to get my name known. When I’ve needed support and advice he’s always made himself available to me and his knowledge of the non-league game, clubs and managers has really been invaluable. When I left 1874 I was lucky to have offers from a few clubs and Russ advised me and helped me decide that Hanley would be the perfect club for me and I’m loving every minute of my time here."
"I signed with Russ at Beeston Sports just before the start of this season and I honestly couldn’t speak more highly of the experience. After a challenging couple of years dealing with injury and a loss of confidence, joining Russ has made a huge difference for me as a player. His constant encouragement, belief in me as a goalkeeper, and honest, insightful feedback have played a big part in my improvement this season. He’s always just a phone call away and never hesitates to make time to support me and the other players he represents"
"I’ve been represented by Russ for nearly 6yrs now after he first spotted me as a 17 year old playing in the Midland Floodlit League for Newcastle Town, and during that time he has always believed in me & supported me up and down the country at various levels of senior football. At times during this period I’ve had highs and lows but one thing has remained the same & that’s Russ’s support. I’ve now with his help come full circle and playing regular senior football at my highest level yet back at Newcastle Town where I am leading scorer."
"This is my first year being represented by Beeston Sports, and throughout this time, Russ has always made his best efforts to support me in many ways. He has given me clear, honest advice and helped me make the right decisions during tough circumstances. He has always been there to offer guidance, answer questions, and support me through challenges. His help and belief in me have played an important role in my development as a player so far, and I thank him for his continued dedication to my future."

Knowing I have his backing has given me confidence to keep pushing forward and striving to be better every day."
"Russ spotted me as a young keeper and has worked with me and my family over the last nearly four years, he spotted me when I was 16 playing in the midland floodlit youth league for Stafford rangers , moving into adult football it’s been more difficult mentally with setbacks which russ has helped overcome constantly trying to push me further, with his support I’ve already played more men’s football games this season than before and looking to push on over the next few years"

He’s patient, understanding, and supportive when things feel uncertain, and I always feel like he genuinely cares and has my back.

Russ is also a very approachable guy and is there round the clock with his support when you need it"
"I’ve had previous bad experiences with agents not responding, & not seeming to care. When I first spoke to Russ his vibe was different. He seemed to actually care and he actually wants to help get the best out of you. He is always there for me when I’m doing well, but is also there for me when things are tough"
