The rise of agents in professional football has been rapid to say the least. A concept unheard of just a few years ago, yet nowerdays it seems that we all know someone who masqurades as an agent.

This is an area that has more pitfalls than most and therefore GK Icon was insistent that we linked up with a very reputable company and one that offers the very highest level of service in a world that has far too many who are purely in it to make a quick buck.

So why link with an agency? With GK Icon offering the promise of producing the best goalkeepers of the future, we realised that in time this would mean a plethora of lads making their way through the ranks and perhaps even into the Premier league and beyond. For GK Icon, the link is just another way of guiding those with talent in the best possible way and in World in Motion we know that any youngster who is in need of representation could do far worse than to sign with our recommended agency.

GK Icon has written an agency e-book, which you can find in the GK Icon shop.

World in Motion Ltd also publishes a magazine specifically for the goalkeeping community.

The magazine, GK1, is unique in that its focus is 100% on the world of goalkeeping and covers the most important issues in the industry. From interviews with the world's leading goalkeepers through to features, equipment reviews and the very best insights from the game's top figures, this is a must-have read for everyone interested in goalkeeping.

GK Icon's very own Richard Lee was featured in the winter 2010 issue of GK1 and you can read the insightful interview on the GK1 website.
