Despite signing a six-year deal with Chelsea in the summer, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is already preparing for life after retirement. The midfielder, who joined from Leicester for £30 million in July, has made only one Premier League start under manager Enzo Maresca, who appears to favor other players over the 26-year-old.

Dewsbury-Hall has enrolled in the PFA Sporting Directorship course, a two-year program costing nearly £12,000 aimed at training future football directors. Despite his limited Premier League appearances, he has started seven of Chelsea’s eight Europa Conference League games, contributing three goals and one assist.

The course allows him to balance his studies with his playing career, as it only requires four face-to-face sessions per year and one two-hour virtual session every fortnight. While he struggles for consistent minutes at Chelsea, several clubs are reportedly interested in acquiring him by the end of the season.
