Karim’s football journey began at just four years old, when he was first scouted by Joe Makin, the former coach of Manchester United and long-time developer of elite young talent, including Phil Foden. From those early beginnings, Karim has continued to make remarkable progress.

Since being identified at such a young age, Karim has shown consistent growth in both skill and understanding of the game. He is currently involved in training environments linked with both Manchester United, Manchester City and Everton F.C., where he regularly attends academy-style sessions. These experiences provide him with the opportunity to train at a high level, challenge himself, and continue developing his technical ability, game awareness, and confidence on the pitch.

Karim has clear ambitions for the future and aspires to reach the highest level in professional football. His dedication to training, discipline in his approach, and genuine passion for the sport are qualities that are deeply routed in the Lady Barn core values. He demonstrates a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn, which are vital at this stage of his development.

Alongside his footballing achievements, Karim continues to represent Lady Barn House School with pride. We are incredibly proud of his progress and the commitment he shows both in and outside of school.
