A leading coach with Wolves Community Trust is to spend ten days helping on a Premier League coach education programme being headed up by Robbie Earle in the capital of Cameroon.

Kevin Wilson, a Social Inclusion Officer with the Community Trust, is one of three coaches assisting former Wimbledon and Jamaica star Earle on the Premier Skills project being run as a partnership between the Premier League and British Council.

Premier Skills is an innovative project in which the coaches heading across to Cameroon aim to help develop the skills of their African counterparts as well as teaching them to use football as a tool for skills and community development.

Kevin, 26, a UEFA B qualified coach, will travel out on Sunday for the innovative project which will see the group based in Yaoundé.

"It's an honour to be asked and a real privilege to be involved with the project," said Kevin, who has worked at Wolves for six years.

"It will involve some coaching and mentoring and trying to pass on coaching best practise to the people over there.

"I'm really looking forward to the trip which will not only be an invaluable experience but also hopefully help me develop some skills which I can bring back to my work at Wolves."

Kevin will also be armed with various items of Wolves memorabilia to pass on to local children during his visit, with the main launch of the project taking place on Tuesday.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for Kevin which has come about because of our Premier League status," said Wolves Community Operations Manager Will Clowes.

"As a club, it gives us the opportunity to extend our community focus further afield and as our Social Inclusion Officer involved with coach education and lifestyle development, Kevin is the ideal candidate.

"What's also been great to see is that our own player George Elokobi, who was born and brought up in Cameroon, has taken a keen interest in the project and has spoken at length to Kevin before he heads out."

The other coaches involved in the project are Jeremy Weekes, a community coach from Fulham, and Kristopher Hatton, goalkeeping coach at Craven Cottage.

Premier Skills represents the flagship international development programme of the Premier League, with 19 projects now operating around the world.

The overall aim of the project is to train 1,000 coaches, and so far more than 50,000 people around the world have been involved in sessions run by newly-qualified Premier Skills coaches.

"At home the Premier League and our clubs have a long-held commitment and reputation for investing in community and education programmes," said Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore.

"Given our popularity and success internationally we felt it only right to take this approach to a wider community.

"Thanks to the number of players from Cameroon who play or have played in England, the Premier League has a strong relationship with the country.

"It is important we use this profile and reach to encourage and engage communities and the rollout of Premier Skills projects will do just that.

"Our partnership with the British Council, using top coaches like Robbie Earle, will help develop the skills of youth leaders for the long term benefit of their communities."

Wolves Assistant Academy manager Gareth Prosser spent a week leading a Premier Skills initiative in Goa back in January, having previously attended a project in Kolkata whilst at Derby.
