Levi Laing - Former Hampton Youth player represents England

His former manager Adam Shawyer provided the club with this update.

Levi is a great example of waiting until the right time.

Academies were coming for Levi from U7 & the parents decided that it was better for him to train/play with Hampton until senior school & then he would be old enough to deal with the pressure & travelling required.

This has proved to be the making of him, kept him grounded & still comes to watch his old team to support them whenever he can. If your good enough the opportunities will still be there.
