He's not a scout?

A scout wanders around watching 60 minutes of matches in an anorak, on expenses, it's an old boys club of failed coaches and lower league players.

I've got a friend who does it freelance for several clubs in Yorkshire and Lancashire.

Gets a finders fee when a player signs. Takes the odd cash incentive from agents (or occassionally parents) to push players towards clubs at National League and L2 level.

Doesn't even prepare reports, just speaks to coaches to get an idea of budget and target attributes, and then WhatsApps them a ahort paragraph about who hes 'spotted' that's worth a second look or a trial.
