About

Two agencies, one desk.

MEL & CANY Sports was formed when MEL Sports Management and Cany Sports Group merged. The two now work as one agency with two directors.

A player who signs with us deals directly with a licensed agent. We handle the negotiation, the paperwork and the planning, so the player can concentrate on football.

Evaluation only

This session evaluates your current situation. It is not a representation contract, and it does not commit MEL & CANY Sports to provide player services. If you want a specific service afterwards, we review the details with you first and additional fees apply.

Cancellation and refunds

Cancel at least 72 hours before your session for a refund. If you cancel later than that, the fee is not refunded and we reschedule your session.

Players under 18

Players under 18 book with a parent or guardian.
