🎙️ INTERVIEW

Introduce yourself…

My Name is Bright Siaw, I am 18 years old and I play for Barnet Football Club as Wingback / Winger.

You joined Barnet’s Academy at a young age — what first brought you to the club, and what made you believe it was the right environment to grow as a player?

What attracted me most was seeing how they gave out opportunities to young players and the fact that our academy 19s manager was the assistant coach for the first team I knew it would be a good opportunity to come show what I can do as there is a direct link between the first team and academy.

Can you tell us about a memorable Academy match or moment that made you realise you could play at professional level?

To be honest there wasn’t a memorable match that specifically made me feel like I could play at the professional level however moments such as having a MOTM performance in the FA Youth Cup and in the Middlesex Senior Cup last year gave me a lot of confidence and evidence I could be onto something if I carry on working hard.

Barnet has a strong tradition of developing young talent. What did it mean to you personally to sign your first professional contract here?

For me it was a dream come true, I’ve wanted to be a professional footballer for as long as I can remember and to do it at a club that has a good reputation for developing young talent is even better.

Your loan to Welling United was a big step — how did it feel walking into a senior dressing room for the first time?

To be fair alongside playing for Barnet 19s last season I was playing regular men’s football at Burnham FC so I had some prior experience of what a men’s dressing room is like but the dressing room was good the lads welcomed me in nicely.
