It's at this time of year, the end of the football season, when countless young players up and down the country are told that their dream of becoming a professional footballer won't turn into reality.
Wren, a goalkeeper, spent time in Manchester United 's famous youth setup as a teenager, while midfielder Dyer was at Aston Villa until he was 18.
The duo founded Freetrain, a sports apparel brand that's made waves in the training world over the past few years thanks to their trademark running vest, purpose built for handily holding a mobile phone.

The two crossed paths at Burton Albion more than a decade ago and a friendship was forged during journeys up and down the A38.
