Leverage the talents of players
to benefit recruitment agencies
Pitch to Placements recognizes the unique skills and mindset that footballers possess, which can be invaluable assets for recruitment agencies seeking high-performing consultants.
The Pitch to Placements Difference
We don't just train you—we place you.
We work closely with recruitment and sales partners to match you with the right opportunity. It's a two-way process: we invest in your development, and you bring the drive.
Built by people who understand.
Our training is designed with football in mind. We know what it's like to build a career around the game—and we know what it takes to build one beyond it.
A growing community.
Through the Boots to Billing podcast and our network of graduates, you'll connect with others who've made the same transition. You're not alone in this journey.
About Alan McFadden
Founder
Pitch to Placements, a business dedicated to helping professional footballers build meaningful careers after the game. With deep roots in both the football world and the recruitment industry, I understand the unique challenges players face when transitioning out of professional sport—and I've created a practical solution.
My approach is hands-on and personal. I don't just run a training course; I actively place graduates into real roles with strong basic salaries and high commission potential. My mission is simple: to show footballers that their careers don't end when the boots come off—they evolve.
Through the "Boots to Billing" podcast, I've built a platform that connects current and former players with honest conversations about life after football. The podcast has quickly gained traction, with episodes featuring prominent names like Kyle Lafferty drawing over 15,000 views and reaching the right audience—young footballers thinking about their futures.
Where we operate
Pitch to Placements currently supports athletes across the UK, Ireland and Dubai, with plans to expand further.
