Cobblers midfielder Alex Dyer has received his award from Chairman David Cardoza after being named the League Football Education April Apprentice of the month.

Behind the development of youth players at Northampton Town is the Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (ASE) Programme. ASE is a two-year course, taken between the ages of 16 & 18 years, in which Apprentices study for an NVQ in Achieving Excellence in Sports Performance, an academic education qualification, a certificate in coaching football and learn key skills.

The programme came into existence in June 2004 and is managed by League Football Education (LFE), a partnership organisation created between The Football League and The PFA.

LFE is keen to celebrate the success of Apprentices that have excelled educationally or in the workplace and have showed commitment to the programme so have introduced the Apprentice of the Month Award which runs throughout the academic year and in conjunction with PUMA.
