Doncaster Start-Up Signs Up Peter Shilton To Ambassador Role

A Doncaster business which has designed a football playing tracking platform is aiming to raise £250,000 through a crowdfunding campaign.

The company, which is using former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton as its ambassador, is seeking funding via Crowdcube.

The innovative Lionhearts software platform tracks the progress of young football players and is designed to be taken by players from club to club so new coaches can see their progress and work on their continued development.

Funding is needed to ensure the future development of the system and to allow Lionhearts to secure contracts with professional clubs. Doncaster Rovers have already signed up to use the system.
