Young prospect signs agent

A teenager at Clydebank now has a FIFA-licensed agency handling his career before he has made any marquee move. Future Global Sports said Lancelot Pollard signed an exclusive worldwide representation deal in March 2026. (futureglobalsports.com) Pollard is 18, plays attacking midfield, and joined Clydebank in October 2025 on a contract running to the end of the 2026-27 season. Clydebank described him then as an ex-Aberdeen, Rangers, Sparta Rotterdam and Montrose player. (clydebankfc.com, transfermarkt.com) His path is the kind agents like because it already has a paper trail. Future Global Sports says he came through Aberdeen’s academy, reached Aberdeen Under-18 level at 14, later moved to Rangers, and was called up by Scotland at Under-17 level. (futureglobalsports.com, montrosefc.co.uk) He also spent the second half of the 2024-25 season at Montrose, where the club called him a versatile midfielder with Scotland Under-17 experience. For a young player, that matters less as hype than as evidence that multiple clubs have already logged him in their systems. (montrosefc.co.uk) The agency side is part of the story too. Future Global Sports is still building its client list, and its own site shows recent announcements for Pollard and Walker Shabazz-Edwards rather than a long roster of established senior stars. (futureglobalsports.com, transfermarkt.co.uk) That is usually how smaller football agencies try to break in. They sign players before the biggest contract arrives, then make their money by staying attached if the player earns a better club move, a first full professional deal, or improved commercial terms later. (inside.fifa.com, hns.family) FIFA’s current rules are built around a written representation agreement between the player and the agent. FIFA also defines an agency as the company through which one or more licensed football agents conduct business. (inside.fifa.com, hns.family) Those agreements are not just introductions over coffee. The FIFA template covers basics like exclusivity, duration, territory, services, payment terms, and termination, which is why a signing like Pollard’s is really an early business contract wrapped around a football bet. (inside.fifa.com) There are tighter rules when the player is a minor. FIFA’s regulations restrict approaches to minors and require extra protections, including guardian involvement under the applicable rules, so agencies often move carefully around players in the 16-to-18 range and formalize deals once the timing is cleaner. (hns.family, thefootballweek.com) So this deal is less about a transfer happening now than about who gets to sit at the table when one does. If Pollard turns Clydebank minutes and his Scotland youth background into a bigger move, Future Global Sports has already secured the right to represent him on that climb.
