AARON BOWCOTT

I began my playing career back in 2016 when I joined the Manchester Titans. I originally joined as a Defensive Back but due to a hand injury, I was sidelined for an extended period. During this time I decided to give kicking a try and as I had played Soccer for most of my life, I took to it straight away. Since then, we have been able to win the Division 1 National Championship and are currently back-to-back and reigning National Champions in the Premier division.

I decided to try coaching back in 2019 by joining the University of Salford as they had just created a team and were building out their coaching staff. I took over as Special Teams Coordinator and WR assistant and as a Salford alumni, it was gratifying and a great introduction to my coaching career. In November 2022, I joined the MMU Eagles as STC which was a massive leap for me as the Eagles were a much more established team, newly promoted and competing in the BUCS leagues. We are currently looking forward to another strong season and a first-ever playoff appearance.

I had known Coach Brad before joining the One On One Kicking UK team back in March 2022 as we had played in a charity game together and also in France for the Sealand Seahawks last autumn. It has been an incredible journey, and with the recent birth of United Kicking, the future for UK Specialists is looking brighter than ever. I can't wait to carry on everyone's great work and take United Kicking to the next level, bringing top-tier coaching, support and opportunities to anyone who wants to be a part of what we are building!
