20/08/2009
The sports team at Manchester law firm JMW Solicitors LLP have announced that they have signed an agreement to represent an up-and-coming Manchester City footballer.
Javan Vidal, a defender, has played for Manchester City's Youth team since 2005 and went on loan spells to both Grimsby Town and Aberdeen in the 2008/09 season. He has played at both England Under 19's and Under 20's levels and featured in England's 5-0 win against Montenegro last week. Vidal has had a good start to the 2009/10 season by playing in several matches in Manchester City's pre-season tour to South Africa and now has a realistic chance of playing for the first team this coming season. He also featured in the squad that travelled to Barcelona for last nights friendly match which saw Manchester City win 1-0.
Javan will be represented by JMW's sports law team who are led by Head of Sport, Ben Haworth, on issues such as contract negotiations, sponsorships, and intellectual property and media rights.
Head of Sport at JMW Ben Haworth commented:
"Javan is an incredible up-and coming talent who is looking to make his mark on the Manchester City first team squad this season. He looks to have a great career ahead of him hopefully at both Manchester City and for England. With Javan Vidal signing up to our career management service it demonstrates that our unique offering is a viable alternative for players instead of the traditional agent route and he is one of many first-class athletes that we have brought onboard to JMW in last few months."
