The search is on to find the next Braintree Town Academy success story.
Joe Maybanks became the first academy graduate to make the full transition into the Iron’s senior ranks when he made his debut appearance in their 3-0 Vanarama Conference Premier victory against Dover in August.
And the Braintree and Witham Times is giving YOU the chance to take the first step on a path that could lead to your own footballing opportunities.
We have teamed up with Braintree Town and local business Ricky Jewitt Carpets to offer a talented teenager a FREE place in the academy.
See this week's paper for the full details of this stunning opportunity and how to enter.
