We’re delighted to announce that Chuks Uzor-Greey has signed for Ipswich Town FC and becomes our 69th signing to a professional club that has been on our academy programme. We’re proud that we could play a part in supporting his development and journey.
🗣 Chuks Uzor-Greey: “Special shoutout to Kinetic Academy for all the opportunities, guidance and support. I want to say thanks to all the staff at Kinetic who pushed me hard enough to get to this point in my career. I’ve been with the organisation for just over a year and they’ve gotten me to this milestone which I’m really grateful for. Kinetic is probably the most welcoming yet competitive football academy I’ve ever come across, And I’m glad because the competition pushes you to want to be better.
Kinetic were always willing to help not just me but boys around me too, in terms of giving us a platform and a crowd to perform for so we can be seen an giving the opportunity to play at a higher level.”
🗣 Dan Hogan, Kinetic Academy Lead Coach: “A player you would regard as a complete 9 in my opinion, Chuks can do everything you want, he has pace to threaten in behind, natural power & his link up play with his back to goal has drastically improved from when he first came into us which is a credit to himself for the amount of extra work he put in but also the willingness to always keep learning & adding to his game has got him to this stage.
Chuks’ goal scoring record with Kinetic has been phenomenal, not just the amount of goals he can score but the variation in his finishing is brilliant, hopefully this continues & he keeps working hard to push onto the next level. Congrats Chuks, keep pushing onwards!”
The 17 year old striker has been studying at our Harris Federation partner school, Harris Academy Orpington, as part of our academy programme. We wish Chuks all the very best and look forward to following his journey!
