Shirley Town FC Youth

<p>Welcome to Shirley Town Youth FC and the Midland Junior Premier Football League (MJPFL) – the UK's number one junior and youth development league which is based in the Midlands and South West of England. The league which was co-founded by Chairman Andy Barnett, starting with just seven clubs in 2004, and has since expanded to 64 clubs fielding 137 teams in divisions ranging from Under-12 to Under-18 Youth teams. MJPFL matches are played to a high standard, both in terms of the quality of competition and in our full commitment to adhere to the FA’s RESPECT campaign. Although it is essentially about developing players for the member clubs, the league has produced England under 16 representative players and dozens of former MJPFL players have signed contracts with professional clubs. MJPFL President - Cyrille Regis MBE Our president is former England centre-forward Cyrille Regis MBE – a player whose career should be an inspiration to all players who may have thought they have ‘missed the boat’ to top-flight football. At 19, Cyrille went straight from non-league football with Hayes to the First Division with West Bromwich Albion, and onwards the England senior team - proof that you can still make the grade even if you haven’t been spotted and signed by a top club as a child.</p>
