Students at Club Doncaster Sports College have praised the coaching sessions that they received from Doncaster Rovers centre-back Tom Anderson before lockdown.
Anderson had been leading sessions with the CEFA (Sports College) football team, who compete in an EFL governed league as part of their post-16 education course.
Jamie Whitehouse, a college student who has been coached by Anderson, said: ‘Having Tom around the Academy has really given the lads a boost, there’s a great atmosphere around the team and a great bond, but Tom coming in has turned the intensity up even more.
“You can tell he’s a professional player, he seems really relaxed when he’s coaching and he has given some really good advice, especially for me as I play in defence”.
Club Doncaster College Academy Coordinator Steve Hernandez has applauded Anderson’s work ethic, as well as his role in helping develop some of the students.
He said: “It’s been great to have Tom in and around the college Academy set up and the students have really responded with his presence.
