David 기적 North

David 기적 North (born April 2007) is a former Youth Academy Goalkeeper from Brentwood, UK, currently playing College Soccer as an international student in the USA. 


A modern-style 'Keeper-Sweeper' as comfortable with his feet as with his hands, leaving him particularly suited to teams who play out from the back and rely on their Keeper to instigate and dictate the tempo of those patterns, spotting opportunities to break the lines or counter-attack with the accurate distribution he prides himself on. 

Unsurprisingly, PSG's Lukas Chevalier and Arsenal's barely 6 foot tall David Raya are among David's favourite Keepers.

For 2025-26 David has relocated to the USA, committing to NIACC Trojans to play College Soccer while studying Sport Management. 

His Goalkeeping Education began with ex-England National team Youth Coach Yilmaz Aksoy at the East London GK Academy. And then continued with ex-West Ham Utd Youth Coach, Dan Worthington at the DWGK Academy


Previously he has represented Grays Athletic, Brentwood Town, Billericay TownGreat Danes, Ridgeway Rovers


And at academy level, West Ham United Foundation Academy u15s & u16s and Jack Wilshere's NCF Elites u17s. Unfortunately his time was decimated by serious injuries (broken collarbone, and later a back stress fracture) and painstaking long rehab programs (although he was offered a place in West Ham Utd’s 16-18 program, a decision was made to prioritise his education at a local institution). Thankfully he fully recovered and his Physios confirmed that, thanks to his unwavering patient dedication to his rehab, his body is actually far stronger now as a result! 


Following successful UK based trials with FirstPoint USA, David was subsequently offered US soccer scholarships at 3 institutions before committing to North Iowa Area Community College,  excited by the prospect of working with coach Gannon Hamsa.  


David is a West Ham Utd fan & Season Ticket Holder. He attended his first match at the Boleyn Ground, Upton Park when 5 years old.

Of mixed heritage (mother from S.Korea) his middle name "기적" (pronounced "Kizuk") means 'Miracle' in English. He has been trained by Premier League footballers Son Heung-min 손흥민 and Hwang Hee-chan 황희찬.
