About Kinnect Soccer

I'm Jake Balme, founder of Kinnect Soccer. After finishing my scholarship with Scunthorpe United, I earned an opportunity to play college football in the U.S. at NCAA Division II schools in Tennessee and New York. While the experience opened incredible doors, I quickly discovered the challenges international student-athletes face: navigating complex transfer rules, adjusting to new cultures, and managing life far from home.

Kinnect Soccer was created to provide a personal experience insight so that no player or family feel lost in the process. Through education and holistic support, our mission is to guide footballers and their families through every step of the journey—with the clarity and confidence.
