⚽️ From L Plates to Professional Contracts… ⚽️
This week has been a very proud one for everyone at Optimus Drive.
We’re delighted to congratulate two of our former pupils on signing their professional football contracts.
🖤🤍 Mason Miley has signed for his boyhood club, Newcastle United.
❤️🤍 Archie Lightfoot has signed for Sunderland AFC.
Although they’ll now be rivals on the pitch, they share something in common—years of commitment, discipline and hard work to reach this moment.
We first met Mason and Archie when they were learning to drive, and it was a privilege to help them gain another important milestone on their journey. Seeing them now take the next step in their football careers is something we’re incredibly proud to witness.
At Optimus Drive, we love celebrating success, whether that’s passing a driving test, achieving exam results, landing a dream job or, in this case, signing a professional football contract.
Congratulations to you both. We wish you every success for the future and look forward to following your journeys in the years ahead.
No matter which colours you wear, you’ll always have the support of everyone at Optimus Drive. 💙🚗⚽️
