Former Manchester City Player, Jonathan D’Laryea, has become the new franchisee for Kixx Newark and Ollerton, and vows to ‘help make a huge difference to the lives of children in the community’.
The children at the Kixx academies can now look forward to being coached by a player who made his professional debut against Arsenal in the League Cup and made his debut on the same day as Premier League legend Robin Van Persie.
Jonathan D’Laryea is no stranger to football in Nottinghamshire having made over 150 appearances for Mansfield Town during his professional career and he is also the current player manager for Newark and Sherwood United.
It isn’t just football that Jonathan has excelled at during his life, he is also talented maths teacher and currently teaching mathematics at a secondary school in Ashfield.
Jonathan commented on his takeover of the Kixx Academies:
“First and foremost I am absolutely delighted to become the franchisee for Kixx Newark & Ollerton.
“I have been involved in football all my life and have learnt so much in my career. When the opportunity came to become the franchisee, it felt like the time was right to help the next generation and be involved in a business that does so much good, not just locally but across the UK.
“My goal is to help make a huge difference to the lives of children in Newark and surrounding areas. My team will be giving our all, every single day and our children deserve no less than our best.
“The previous owners did a truly wonderful job in building this academy and already made such a positive impact in the area.
“It’s my job to continue and build on this work and I’m truly excited to do what I can for my community.
Kixx Newark & Ollerton was formally owned by Former Professional Footballer, Liam King, who also owns Kixx Mansfield and Kixx Nottingham.
From everyone at Kixx UK we would like to thank Coach Ricky for all his incredible work over the last 3 years at Kixx Newark.
Congratulations to our new Kixx franchisee, Jonathan D’Laryea!!!
