M+C Saatchi Group's talent division, M+C Saatchi Talent, joins forces with former premier league star, Jamie Redknapp, to launch M+C Saatchi Football.
M+C Saatchi Group has launched a new and unique agency for football talent management, M+C Saatchi Football, with the long-term vision of redefining the future of player representation, with a simple philosophy, championing the person behind the player, shaping futures, and representing beyond the pitch.
The agency is founded by former England & Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp, with his long term management company M+C Saatchi Talent Group and friend, former player and renowned sports lawyer Udo Onwere of leading London law firm Bray & Krais.
The agency will specialise in end to end management, combining best in class on and off field representation. Each client will receive the full weight of the founders combined experience, expertise, strategic career building, legal guidance and personal mentorship.
"I’ve worked with M+C Saatchi Talent for 20 years, so I know how much care and commitment they put into everything. Football’s given me a lot, and now I’m looking forward to giving something back - helping young players find their way with the right support from the start. With M+C Saatchi’s world class reputation, experience and global reach, we’re building something really exciting." - Jamie Redknapp
“Giving legal advice to professional athletes is something I have done for a long time, so teaming up with Jamie and M+C Saatchi was a natural progression for me and my firm” – Udo Onwere, Partner, Bray & Krais Solicitors.
M+C Saatchi Talent Group has built its name on trust and long-term relationships with personalised career strategies. That belief and foundation sparked the creation of M+C Saatchi Football as a response to a need in the sporting world, built to offer athletes and their families the same standard of trust, mentorship, and nurturing support both on and off the pitch.
"M+C Saatchi Talent has always been about representing excellence and shaping careers with purpose. Partnering with Jamie to launch our football division is not only a testament to our longstanding relationship but also to our shared vision and values. He brings not just credibility and experience, but a genuine passion for mentorship. We’re committed to guiding the next wave of footballing talent with integrity, ambition, and providing a unique offering of career management." - Katie Lydon, Managing Director of Broadcast and Football.
Jamie’s post-football career has been guided by M+C Saatchi Talent, helping him to become one of the UK’s top sports broadcasters and personalities. He has experienced firsthand the highs and lows of traditional player representation, often saying that if he were still playing, he would have wanted an agency like M+C Saatchi in his corner.
M+C Saatchi Football already has an exceptional roster of young international-level talent with Reggie Walsh and Dante Waite (Chelsea) and Nazim Benchaita (Fulham), Maalik Hashi (Arsenal) and Donte Martin (Crystal Palace).
With over 50 years of collective experience across professional sport, law, media and marketing, M+C Saatchi Football will deliver tailored and transformative results with 24/7 support that elevates, nurtures and empowers its clients. The ambition is not to become the biggest, but certainly to be the very best.
