Lyon's Journey from Grassroots Football to Brentford Academy
Lyon's story is one of perseverance and determination. From playing grassroots football to making it to the top-tier academy program at Brentford, Lyon’s journey showcases the power of following your passion and never giving up on your dreams.
Felix Lyon’s dream of playing academy football started at a young age in south London, where he honed his skills across multiple clubs and national titles. However, it wasn’t until the final year of grassroots football that his dream became reality when he was scouted by Brentford and invited to play for their U18s team ahead of the re-established U9s to U16s program at Jersey Road. Lyon’s journey from a small club like Dulwich Village Under-7s to joining the prestigious Brentford academy was both challenging and rewarding, with his hard work paying off when he received an offer that solidified his position as a promising young goalkeeper.
