BB Elite Sports Talent
FOOTBALL AGENCY · UNITED KINGDOM

Your career,
personally managed.

BB Elite Sports Talent is a UK football agency founded by Rob Bate, an FA & FIFA-licensed agent. We represent a select group of players — established professionals and emerging talent — so every one gets our full attention, on the pitch, off it and after it.

THE DIFFERENCE

Your career is not one of hundreds.

Every player we represent has a direct line to us. We know their career inside out, work on it every day and answer when they call — no call centres, no passing between strangers. That matters as much to an established first-team player as it does to a young one finding their way.

We don't measure ourselves by how many players we sign, but by how far each one goes.

WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR CAREER

The same full attention, at every stage.

ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS

At the top of the game, you should still come first.

At a big agency, even a top player can be one name on a long list. With us, your career, your family and your ambitions are known in detail — and worked on every day.

  • Contract renewals and transfers
  • Commercial and sponsorship opportunities
  • Planning the peak years and what follows
EMERGING TALENT

The right start makes the whole career.

The first professional steps matter enormously. We help young players and their families make them with care, honesty and a long-term plan — not a quick deal.

  • First professional contracts
  • A development pathway that fits the player
  • Education kept on track, families kept informed
WHAT WE DO

Support across the whole career.

01 Contracts & transfers Renewals, transfers and loans negotiated properly, with every document understood before it's signed. 02 Career planning The right club, at the right time, for the right reasons. A plan for the next step and the five after it. 03 Development Education and qualifications at every stage — schoolwork for young players, badges and courses for senior ones. 04 Wellbeing Someone in your corner through injury, setbacks, moves away from home and the pressure of the game. 05 Life after football Planning early for what comes next, because every career ends and the best ones are prepared for it. 06 Commercial Sponsorship, boot and brand opportunities, chosen carefully so they suit the player and protect the career.
HOW WE WORK

Honesty

Honesty is the foundation of everything we do. Without honesty there can be no trust, and without trust there can be no successful relationship. We tell players and families what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

Integrity

When we say we will do something, we do it. Every decision starts with one question: what is the right thing for the player?

Commitment

Talent opens doors; hard work keeps them open. We ask a lot of our players, and we ask even more of ourselves. We will never be out-worked.

FOR PARENTS

Parents, this is for you too.

When a young player is doing well, families can be approached by people they know nothing about. We think you should know exactly who you are dealing with. We are open about how we work, how we're paid and what we will — and won't — do.
