The Scotland-based company, which has 37 centres across the UK, also plans to target the ‘untapped’ female football market as it unveiled a 56% increase in pretax profit to £5m (£3.2m).
‘We’re in talks with a number of clubs,’ said Sean Tracey, chief executive. ‘The rationale is twofold: the right demographic and good infrastructure.’
Powerleague has set aside £7m to acquire sites and opened three over the year. It plans a further four during the course of this year.
