AFC Rushden & Diamonds

In Case You Missed It!

Relive the day the Club made history by making their first ever appearance in the FA Cup 1st Round Proper vs Burton Albion by watching the newest episode of This Is Rushden! 👇

The re-launch of the Club's Pre-Academy has been incredibly successful with over 150 children signing up to attend sessions in Northampton, Wollaston and Higham Ferrers.

Our Pre-Academy is open to any child in school years 2-6, providing high quality coaching that compliments your child's existing grassroots football and doesn't replace it.

The Pre-Academy forms part of the pathway to the First Team and the best players at U11 will form our Academy squad at U12 (Year 7) onwards.

More details on locations and times can be found on this leaflet, but fill in the form below to register for your two free taster sessions.

The Academy Results 🎓

Here are the results from across the Academy from their latest round of matches at the weekend.

We wanted to take a moment to thank Billy Sharp, not only for his contribution yesterday, but also for the time and effort he has given to the Club over the past week.

Billy has always maintained a genuine interest in the Club, having purchased a seat in the Community Stand when we were fundraising for it, and he has remained in touch with us ever since.

This week, Billy travelled down from Sheffield to train with the lads on Tuesday and Thursday. Throughout his time with us, he showed great respect for the players and the Club, generously sharing his knowledge, experience and advice, which our players and staff were only too happy to soak up.

To see him pull on a Rushden shirt once again yesterday, 21 years later, was a truly magical moment for everyone connected with the Club.

And he offered to do it for free.

A wonderful gesture from a fantastic footballer and, more importantly, a genuinely good person.

Huge respect and a heartfelt thank you, @billysharp10 for the profile you have given our Club this week. It really does mean a lot to everyone at the Club. 💎
