Success Story – Congratulations, Kiel Higginson!
️
Everyone at Swansea City Academy is incredibly proud of Kiel Higginson, one of last year’s scholars, who has accepted a scholarship to study and play football in the USA!
Kiel will be heading to Butler University in Indianapolis to study Business Technology and Analytics while continuing his football journey. This is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of his dedication both on and off the pitch.
Kiel completed his Diploma in Sport and Fitness with DD and is currently awaiting his A Level results in PE and Geography.
At Swansea City Academy, we place huge value on education alongside football development. Kiel’s journey is a brilliant example of how academic achievement can open doors and create opportunities beyond the professional game.
We’re excited to see what the future holds for Kiel and we’ll be cheering him on back home!
