Tyler arrived in the U.K. back in the fall of 2018, to not only pursue his masters but to continue playing the sport he loved, football. After a successful season on the field and completing his studies, Tyler made the most of his time in the England by exploring Europe, visiting both Rome and Venice.

“Both Harry and the PlayOverseas team have been a great help in me pursuing my masters degree and continuing my passion of playing football. Harry contacted me the beginning of my senior year about the opportunity to play overseas and pursue my masters and has been a huge help in me being able to get in contact with coaches and being able to discover opportunities in England I did not know existed. I could not pass up on this once in a lifetime opportunity to study abroad and play a sport that I have loved my entire life. Harry and his team were a huge help during the long process and I thank them for helping me through out.”
