Forward Zone discovered Josh du Preez during Nike’s global search for the next generation of the world’s most talented professional soccer players. Where 150 000 hopeful talents from 55 nations competed during this Nike Chance Run, Josh was one to stand out, demanding Forward Zone’s attention.

As a result, Forwardzone jumped at the opportunity to play a big part in Josh’s bright future, and initiated numerous trials for him in England, Holland and Germany, from which he was selected to train and further develop his goal keeping skills at VFL Osnabruk, the German multi-sports club renowned for its soccer. Recently Josh has signed a one year contract, also in Germany, with SV Todesfelde.

Forward Zone is extremely proud to have been a driving force behind what will surely be an exciting football career for young Josh.
