West Allotment Celtic has always been a club that punches above its weight — proud of its roots, its community, and its ability to spot potential where others might not look. Now, the club is taking that spirit a step further with the launch of Project Prospect: Powered by West Allotment Celtic — a new scouting network designed to uncover hidden footballing talent across the North East.
The aim of Project Prospect is simple: to find ambitious, hardworking players who might be ready to take their first step into Northern League football. From local leagues and college teams to Sunday football and youth setups, Allotment believes there are countless players across the region with the drive and ability to play at this level — they just need to be seen.
West Allotment Celtic has built its reputation on giving young, hungry players a platform. The club doesn’t have the biggest budget, but it has always had a sharp eye for potential and a willingness to back people who want to work hard and improve. Project Prospect continues that proud tradition — ensuring promising players from all backgrounds get their chance to shine in the famous green and white.
The network will span the wider North East, helping the club identify players who fit what we’re looking for at Allotment — technically capable, full of energy, and eager to learn. Scouts will work closely with the club to share reports and insights, helping shape future recruitment and development opportunities.
Those joining the network will receive a fee per game attended, and no formal scouting experience is required. However, applicants should have experience in senior football or the older ages of youth football, either as a player, coach, or volunteer. Ahead of the matches, you will be briefed by the club about what we’re looking for and what games we’re looking to get covered.
If you love the game, know your local football scene, and want to play a part in discovering the next generation of Northern League talent, we want to hear from you.
📩 To apply, email hello@westallotmentcelticfc.co.uk with a short note about your football background and the area you’d like to cover.
Through Project Prospect: Powered by West Allotment Celtic, the club is continuing its mission to give opportunities to those who deserve them — keeping alive the community spirit and determination that make Allotment, and non league football generally, so special.
