Bailey Wright meets budding stars

Bailey Wright meets budding stars
Bailey Wright joined a special Zoom session with youngsters from the Foundation of Light's Player Development Centre. The SAFC defender was grilled about this matchday superstitions and much more as he answered questions for almost an hour. Bailey shared stories of how he began playing football and spoke about different things he’s come up against in her career. Both parents and children found the session useful, as the Foundation of Light continues to support participants through online provision. Kirsty Smith got in touch to say: "I can’t thank Bailey enough! Such an inspirational Q&A session for Mason and the kids. He got so much from it and hasn’t stopped talking about it today!"
