Premiership Footballer Comes To Walsall College!

If you were looking closely enough on Wednesday 13th September, you may have seen a special guest walking round the College, top Manchester City FC defender, Jihai Sun.

Sun, who is originally from China, visited the College to take a tour of our newly refurbished sporting facilities at the Academy Health Club, as well as the state of the art Apple Academy and Hair & Beauty facilities. Sun was extremely impressed with the facilities and courses on offer at Walsall College and even enrolled on our BTEC First Certificate in Sport!

During his tour of the facilities, Sun took time out to meet some of his fans and have photos taken with them. The group of international students were delighted to see a premiership football player walking down the corridor and gave Sun a rapturous reception.

Deputy Principal, David Wheeler commented,

“I am thrilled that our new state of the art facilities have generated so much national interest. Walsall College has a mission to provide our students with the very best in cutting-edge equipment and Sun’s enrolment just goes to show that even world class football players are impressed by the sporting facilities on offer here.”
