Jack commented: “I’m delighted to be joining 77 Sports Management. I’m at an important point in my career and am confident that the team there can help guide my development as I look to improve both as a footballer and an athlete.”

Miller said: “The focus for me is on my development as a player and fulfilling my potential over the next few years.  I’m excited to be joining the team at 77 Sports Management.”

Andy Murray added: “Football is a huge passion of mine and I’m looking forward to working with both Jack and Miller.  They are both talented, work hard and have bright futures in the game.  We are looking forward to helping them develop and maximise their potential.”
