Other information to include on your footballer CV
In addition to the content in our suggested template, there is a range of other information that you can include on your footballer CV. For example:
Basic information
- Nationality
- Date of birth
- Height
- Weight
- Preferred foot
- Preferred position
- Other positions you have played
Although typically you wouldn’t include your age on your CV for a normal job, it’s more expected in football. Age discrimination may be permitted so far as it is “a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim”. Generally speaking, as players get older, they do not have the ‘legs’ to play as many games in a season, and they are more likely to pick up a career-threatening injury or at least to take longer to recover. But this isn’t always the case, and clubs must treat every case individually, rather than applying a blanket rule.
Technical information
Stats such as your sprint speed, vertical jump and pro-agility test score can help provide evidence to coaches of your abilities.
You can also include number of appearances for each club, goals and assists. Again, this provides prospective coaches with hard evidence of what you can do.
References
Although you don’t have to include references on your football CV (as coaches will ask for them anyway if they’re interested in you), you might want to add them to strengthen your CV. The prospect of a reference from a respected coach, manager or agent can add value to your CV.
