A young footballer from Buckhurst Hill has reached the semi finals of a nationwide competition to win a professional contract.
Daniel Jones, 20, has so far seen off competition from over 5,000 entrants to the Win A Pro Contract competition.
He will now join other young footballers and play an 11-a-side match on Sunday at Leyton Orient’s Matchroom stadium.
Scouts from Leyton Orient, Swindon Town and Wycombe Wanderers will decide on the 22 footballers who will play in the final round of the contest in the New Year.
