Former Trainers Travel To See Nahki Wells Play
Staff from the American football academy that helped to train Bermudian Nahki Wells will fly over from Boston to watch their former student’s historic day at Wembley.
A Bradford Telegraph and Argus report says a group from the Richmond International Academic and Football Academy [RIASA] will fly to London for the weekend to watch the Bradford City striker play in the Capital One Cup final against Swansea on Sunday [Feb 24].
Wells joined the academy’s football programme in August 2010 before signing for Carlisle United in December 2010. The 22-year-old is the leading scorer for Bradford and one of the top scorers in all of League Two.
Bradford are the first League 2 club to reach the Cup Final for 51 years, while Nahki Wells will be the third Bermudian footballer to play at the prestigious stadium, joining Shaun Goater and Kyle Lightbourne.
