London (AFP) – Mentoring, a changing of mindsets and ditching “lazy stereotypes” will ensure more English-born professional footballers of South Asian descent make it to the top of the game.
That’s the view of Riz Rehman, player inclusion executive for the Professional Footballers’ Association, who is tasked with tapping into under-used reserves of talent.
While black players are well-represented in the English leagues, there are far fewer South Asians just 15 in the professional ranks and 10 young “scholars”, according to Rehman.
Over the past 20 years just 24 players of South Asian descent have made a league debut while Ricky Hill remains the only footballer from that background to have played for England, winning three caps in the 1980s.
