Speaking on the exciting new venture, Fergany admits it will offer him a great opportunity and said: “I chose to study in the USA because it allows me to play a high-level of football as well as completing my studies.

“I am most looking forward to playing with a winning team out there as the college I am going to are national champions.

“I haven’t been part of a winning team in England, so it will be good to see how I progress with a winning mentality.

“I chose Louisburg College because they are national champions, the best possible team I could have joined, so it was not a hard decision.
