For many young footballers, the pathway to the next stage of their career is rarely straightforward. Talent alone is not always enough — navigating opportunities, club pathways and the wider football landscape often requires the right support at the right time.
For Anis Ben Hamed, that journey has included both challenges and exciting opportunities since signing with Harvey Sports Group.
Building the Relationship
The connection with Anis and his family developed through a series of meetings with the player and his father, following a similar process to many players joining the agency.
During these conversations, the Harvey Sports Group team introduced the agency, explained the support available to players, and discussed how they could help guide Anis through the next stage of his development.
After getting to know the family and understanding Anis’ ambitions in the game, the decision was made to begin working together.
Navigating the Next Opportunity
One of the challenges facing Anis has been navigating the scholarship landscape following his training period at Walsall F.C., which carries a training compensation value of £12,500.
Situations like this can sometimes make the process of securing the next opportunity more complex. As a result, Harvey Sports Group has been actively working across its network to help create the right pathway for Anis.
The agency has shared Anis’ profile with clubs and contacts across the game, while also arranging for scouts to attend matches and watch him compete.
Staying Ready
While the search for the right scholarship opportunity continues, ensuring Anis remains match-ready has been a key priority.
Harvey Sports Group has organised opportunities for Anis to continue playing and developing, including training with Rugby Town F.C., who compete at Step 4 of the English football pyramid.
Alongside match experience, the agency has also delivered one-to-one training sessions to help keep Anis sharp and prepared for when the next opportunity arrives.
Representing His Country
Amid this period of development, Anis has also earned a significant honour on the international stage.
He has been selected to represent Libya national under-17 football team in the Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations UNAF qualifiers, a tournament being held in Libya.
Representing your country at any level is a proud moment for any player and reflects the dedication and commitment shown throughout their development.
Everyone at Harvey Sports Group is proud to see Anis competing on the international stage and gaining valuable experience at such a high level.
Looking Ahead
As Anis continues to compete internationally and develop his game, Harvey Sports Group will remain focused on finding the right scholarship opportunity to support the next stage of his career. For Anis Ben Hamed, the journey continues — and with talent, determination and international experience already under his belt, the future holds exciting possibilities.
