Budding football players in search of their first ever match or training session can use our online ‘Squad Booster’ service and link-up with the many teams looking for new faces this spring.

Individuals looking to make their debut, or those who are keen to get back into the game after a spell on the sidelines, are wanted by local grassroots clubs who are still using the portal to advertise for newcomers to supplement their squads. The Squad Booster service contains live details.

Teams struggling for numbers can attract new blood with an advert to thousands of players of all abilities. The service is pivotal to achieving one of Essex grassroots football’s main goals - simply to get more people playing. Adverts are shared amongst the local media and are individually published on social media.

Are you a player looking for a team? Is your club short of players? The latest adverts can be found here. These are also shared on Twitter @EssexCountyFA using the #SquadBooster hashtag, and at ‘EssexFootball’ on Facebook.
