Experience to Enhance Signing Day Sports App's Soccer Recruitment
Functionality
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.,
Dec. 12,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Signing Day Sports, Inc. (NYSE
American: SGN) ("Signing Day Sports" or the
"Company"), the developer of the Signing Day Sports app
and platform to aid high school athletes in the recruitment
process, announces that former professional soccer player
Kevin Grogan has been appointed
Senior Soccer Advisor to the Company.
"We are excited to welcome Kevin
Grogan to the Signing Day Sports family," said Rich Symington, President and Chief Technology
Officer of Signing Day Sports. "As a former professional soccer
player, accomplished coach, and sports business consultant, Kevin
brings a unique blend of playing experience and business acumen,
making him the ideal candidate to advance the Company's soccer
division. Kevin's wealth of experience in coaching and consulting,
as well as his extensive network within the soccer world, will play
a pivotal role in enhancing the Signing Day Sports app's soccer
recruitment functionality and further establishing Signing Day
Sports as a leader in collegiate sports recruitment."
Grogan's journey in soccer began at an early age, signing a
full-time contract with Manchester United at 15 years old, and
becoming a member of Ireland's
Men's Under-16 team that would become the winners of the 1998 UEFA
(Union of European Football Associations) European Under-17
Championship. He played professionally for nearly ten years, but
his promising career as a professional soccer player was
unfortunately cut short by injuries.
Since relocating to New York, Grogan has become the Technical
Director of Clarkstown Soccer Club and the owner and
President of Kevin Grogan Soccer, a private coaching company. Mr.
Grogan also provides business development services to Rezzil, a
virtual reality and artificial intelligence sports training
company.
"Having led organizations at the crossroads of soccer,
technology, and athlete development, I could not be more excited to
join forces with Signing Day Sports, which has built an
organization and technology platform to modernize collegiate sports
recruitment," commented Kevin
Grogan. "By aligning with Signing Day Sports, I have the
opportunity to leverage both my experience and relationships across
the industry. Signing Day Sports' mission aligns with my goal of
empowering young soccer players across the globe. Together, we plan
to tap into the global appeal of the sport and create new
opportunities for aspiring athletes."
