Jake Seeks To Be Top Agent
The Football League Paper
|December 17, 2017
JAKE Speight openly admits his mentality as a player let him down – and it’s exactly why the former Bradford City, Wrexham and Mansfield Town striker is so well-placed to make a success of his second career as an agent.
The 32-year-old decided to walk away from playing just over two years ago as his agency, Fifteen Eleven Management, continued to grow.
Since then he’s built a portfolio of players in the Championship to bright NonLeague talents.
In all, he’s helped more than 30 players progress their careers from Non-League into the Football League and SPL.
“It was something I’d put in place before I knew where my career was going towards the end. Mentally, I had switched off from football and that was the deciding factor,” Speight told The FLP.
Character
“It was the guidance and helping players long-term that appealed to me. That’s the side I enjoy. Seeing players get to where they need to be.
