"We are really excited to form this new soccer relationship with the Wolves-Hawks organization. This will allow the players in our club to have opportunities to play at the next level.

"We would only endorse another club if we had full confidence in their professionalism, and ability to help some of our players achieve their soccer ambitions. We have respected Brian Doyle and his staff over the years for being the most competitive soccer program in the state. We have always believed in Birmingham United's ability to fulfill our players potential through high school. Now they have an additional platform (Wolves-Hawks organization) based on their own dedication and ability, to possibly play this game at college and beyond. Our older players are especially excited with this opportunity."
