The January window is won in November and December.
Most players think about the window when it opens. By then, clubs have already shortlisted who they want to see. Here's what your next ten weeks look like with us.
Assessment & Player Plan
Your assessment call, then your personalised Player Plan: target countries, clubs and realistic levels. We build your footballer CV and highlights reel from your match clips.
Club Outreach
Warm introductions to clubs planning their January squads. This is when gaps get identified and shortlists get made - your profile needs to be in front of them before the holidays.
Trials & Signings
Mid-season trials as the window opens, plus pre-season trials in leagues that run spring to autumn, like Scandinavia. You travel briefed and ready, knowing exactly what to expect.
Timelines vary by player profile, availability and flexibility on location. Some trials are confirmed in 2–3 weeks, others take 6–8. Starting earlier gives you more chances, not fewer.
You've probably been here before.
Most players who apply have looked at us more than once. Here's what usually holds them back - and the honest answer.
JNM is run by a FIFA-licensed football agent (Licence No. 202411-8640). We've been doing this for 7 years, and every player we take on gets a trial guaranteed in writing. We started JNM because Nathan was scammed by a fake agent at 16 - we know exactly what to watch out for.
If we haven't secured your trial within your programme period, we keep working for free until we do. No time limit. If a trial doesn't lead to a contract, we review what happened and go again.
That's what the assessment call is for. We look at your footage, level and goals, and tell you honestly. If we don't think we can place you, we'll say so - we'd rather turn you down than waste your money or our reputation with clubs.
The next one is summer. That's another six months, and another half-season off your career. A footballer's prime years are short - the cost of waiting is real, even when it doesn't feel like it.
You can try. But clubs get hundreds of applications a week and rarely answer cold emails. Players like Hazem spent months emailing clubs with no reply before joining us - and signed in Germany once a warm introduction was made.
We go through pricing on your assessment call, once we know whether we can help you. The programme fee is paid upfront - whatever you earn at a club is yours entirely. We don't take a cut of your wages.
Every player we take on gets a trial.
A genuine, official trial with a real club - not a kickabout or open showcase. If we haven't secured it within your programme period, we keep working at no extra cost until we do.
